Tackley is a village next to the river Cherwell and near to the Oxford Canal. The village has existed since Saxon times, the village church still has some Saxon remnants. The Domesday Book entry for Tackley lists a watermill. Later mills were still in use as late as the 18th century.
A railway line passes through Tackley in the mid-1850s but it was not until 1931 when Tackley gained a railway station which is the Nethercott part of Tackley. Nowadays the population are mostly commuters to other towns and cities though farm fields still surround the village.
