Launton is a village and civil parish on the eastern outskirts of Bicester, Oxfordshire, England.

Elizabeth I restored the English Reformation so in 1560 Launton was surrendered to the Crown for a third time, who again granted it to the Dean and Chapter.

[7] Originally the chancel had an apse, but in the 15th century this part of the church was reordered with a rectangular east end.

[8][9] In 1891 a pair of flying buttresses designed by Reginald Blomfield was added to the west tower.

In 1910 an Arts and Crafts-style screen designed by John Oldrid Scott was added to the south aisle.

[11] The ecclesiastical parish is now part of the Benefice of Bicester, Bucknell, Caversfield and Launton.

[2][14] The Varsity Line between Bletchley and Oxford via Bicester Town was built through Launton parish and opened in 1851.

[16] The school has links with the parish church including Christingle and Year Six leavers services.

[citation needed] Launton is twinned with the village of Gavray in the Lower Normandy region of France.
