Eynsham is an English village and civil parish in Oxfordshire, about 5 miles north-west of Oxford and east of Witney. The 2011 Census recorded a parish population of 4,648. It was estimated at 5,087 in 2020.
Eynsham grew up near the historically important ford of Swinford on the River Thames flood plain. Excavations have shown that the site was used in the Bronze Age for a rectilinear enclosure edging a gravel terrace. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records Eynsham as Egonesham and describes it as one of four towns that the Saxons captured from the Britons in 571 CE. Evidence has been found of 6th–7th-century Saxon buildings at New Wintles Farm, about three-quarters of a mile from the present parish church. There is evidence that Eynsham had an early minster, probably founded in the 7th or 8th centuries. The name appears in 864 CE as Egenes homme: "Ægen's enclosure or river-meadow".
