The Parish of Boddington consists
of two villages - Upper Boddington, parts of which are approximately
500 feet above sea level, and Lower Boddington, about 3/4 of
a mile to the south, which descends about 100 feet.
The 2001 Census gives the population of the two villages as
700+
The Parish lies at the junction of three counties - Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire
and Warwickshire. It is bounded by the villages of Aston-le-Walls to the southeast,
Claydon to the southwest, Wormleighton to the west, Priors Hardwick and Priors
Marston to the northwest and northeast and Byfield to the east.
The soil is mostly clay with some sandy loam on the high ground
to the eastern side of the ridge.
About 60 acres of the 90 acre reservoir for the Oxford Canal
on the Byfield Road are within the Parish boundary.
