Idbury is a village and civil parish in the Cotswold Hills in Oxfordshire, about 4+1⁄2 miles (7 km) southeast of Stow-on-the-Wold in neighbouring Gloucestershire.

The village's toponym is derived from the Old English for "Ida's burh", further attesting to the fort's continued use in the Saxon era.

[7] There is also a Sanctus bell that was cast in about 1320[7] and hangs in a bellcote on the gable end of the nave above the chancel arch.

[11] The engineer Sir Benjamin Baker, noted for his work on the Forth Bridge, London Victoria station and the first Aswan Dam, is buried in the churchyard.

[16] In 1934 the Canadian poet Frank Prewett moved to Idbury where he briefly worked as assistant editor of The Countryman.

Apart from a short period in a London office, the magazine remained at Burford until 2003,[18] when publication moved to Broughton Hall, North Yorkshire.
