Culworth is a village and civil parish about 7 miles (11 km) north of Brackley in West Northamptonshire, England.

Culworth is also about 7 miles (11 km) northeast of the north Oxfordshire town of Banbury.

[3] Berry Hill, just north of the parish church, is a medieval ringwork, built probably late in the 11th century.

[5] On its southwest side, part of its circular ditch was cut away in the 19th century to make the garden of the Old Rectory, but otherwise it survives intact.

[10] Late in the 13th century the arcades were lengthened and the lower part of the west tower was built.

The chancel was rebuilt in 1840 and the building was altered and refitted in 1880 to designs by the architect E.F. Law of Northampton.

[7] Graves in the churchyard include that of Charles Bacchus, an African servant who died in 1762 at the age of 16.

[13] St Mary's parish is a member of the Benefice of Culworth with Sulgrave and Thorpe Mandeville and Chipping Warden with Edgcote and Moreton Pinkney.

[18] The village has shrunk, leaving earthworks at its northwest and southeast ends marking the sites of former houses.

[7] The Great Central Main Line from Nottingham Victoria to London Marylebone was built through the neighbouring parish of Moreton Pinkney.

In 1900 the Great Central opened a branch from Culworth Junction on the main line just over a mile north of the station to Banbury.

The 1963 The Reshaping of British Railways report recommended that BR close the line through Eydon Road, which it did in 1966.

Originally a gang of poachers trying to feed their families, they later turned to more serious crimes of burglary, highway robbery, and the rustling of farm animals.
