Launton

The village Bicester hasn't swallowed yet·Oxfordshire·South East England

Launton is the village Bicester hasn't got round to eating yet, and the people who live there read every planning notice like a ransom note. It has its own church, its own primary school and a strip of farmland between it and the next estate, which locals treat as a moat. Coachloads of shoppers pour into Bicester Village for discounted handbags without once wondering what lies off to the east, and Launton would very much like to keep it that way.
