Radley is a village and civil parish about 2 miles (3 km) northeast of the centre of Abingdon, Oxfordshire.

The village is home to Radley College, a famous boarding independent school for boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen that consists of 690 pupils.

[2] The church is built of stone, but unusually its roof is supported by wooden pillars installed by a medieval Abbot of Abingdon, who was told in a vision to "seek [them] in the forest".

[4] In the chancel, there is a Renaissance style monument to the lord of the manor, Sir William Stonehouse (died 1632), made by Nicholas Stone.

[2] Past incumbents of the parish have included the future bishops Charles Gore (1893–95) and James Nash (1895–98).

[9] In 1844 the Great Western Railway opened an extension from Didcot to Oxford, passing through Radley parish.

In 1985 the Central Electricity Generating Board began filling some of these lakes with waste ash from Didcot Power Station.

[11] In December 2008 Npower finally announced that it "no longer needed" Thrupp Lake and withdrew its application.

[12] Radley has a Church of England primary school,[13] a village hall[14] and a Women's Institute.
