Fernham is a picturesque little Vale village with views of Uffington White Horse. The village is about three miles south of Faringdon and about six miles east of Shrivenham on the B4508.

Apparently Fernham had at one time three general stores and various other shops and businesses. So clearly it used to be a thriving busy community. Now it gives the impression of being a sleepy little village with several attractive and quaint cottages and an equally attractive little church. The peace and quiet is probably only disturbed by the traffic as it winds its way through the village along the High Street.

In the High Street is the pretty little 19th century Church of St. John the Evangelist. The village pub is The Wodman Inn.

The village pump has recently been given an attractive new roof. Now a symbolic village feature, the pump still has an eight-foot deep stone-lined bottle well underneath - though it has been safely capped off.
