Sparsholt and Westcot

Sparsholt is a village and civil parish about 3 miles (5 km) west of the market town of Wantage in the Vale of White Horse. The village is a spring line settlement at the foot of the Berkshire Downs escarpment.

The parish includes the hamlet of Westcot about 1⁄2 mile (800 m) west of the village.
Sparsholt was part of Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred the Vale of White Horse to Oxfordshire.

The Church of England parish church of Holy Cross is part of the Benefice of Ridgeway, along with the parishes of Childrey, Kingston Lisle, Letcombe Bassett, Letcombe Regis and West Challow.
Sparsholt has a public house, the Star Inn.
