Wixford is a hamlet and civil parish in the Stratford-on-Avon District of Warwickshire, England, situated 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Alcester.

[2] The village is first mentioned when Ufa, a Saxon Earl of Warwick, gave the land at Wixford and his body to be buried to the monastery of Evesham Abbey in 974.

However, Godwine, a powerful man who had purchased the inheritance of that abbey from King Ethelred, granted it to Wulfgeat, son and heir to Ufa, for life, upon condition it was returned.

When morning dawned, his friends wished to renew the encounter but he wisely said "No, I have drunk with "Piping Pebworth, Dancing Marston, Haunted Hillboro', Hungry Grafton, Dodging Exhall, Papist Wixford, Beggarly Broom and Drunken Bidford" and so, presumably, I will drink no more.

In 1541, the village passed to Sir George Throckmorton, in whose family it remained until 1919, when the estate was sold and the manorial rights extinguished.

[8] The southern chapel, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, was built early in the 15th century by Thomas de Cruwe, who was legal advisor to Margaret Beauchamp.

[10] Wixford never having a separate living, being a chapel of Exhall since the reformation so it was provided for the mounts of the visiting clergy from other parishes.

There is also a fine large base of a churchyard cross with a moulded top edge, the stump of a shaft, and three steps to the platform dating from the 15th century.

The remains of Oversley Castle are zero point five miles (0.80 km) north of the village and the Roman road Icknield Street runs very close by.

Wixford is part of the Alcester & Rural ward of Stratford-on-Avon District Council and is represented by Susan Adams (Conservative).
