Steeped in history, Abingdon-on-Thames proudly claims its status as the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in England. Situated along the banks of the River Thames, this picturesque town's origins date back to the Iron Age, with the remains of an ancient defensive enclosure lying just below the town centre. The establishment of Abingdon Abbey in 676 further solidified the town's prominence, and over the centuries, it grew as an agricultural centre, famed for its wool trade, weaving and clothing manufacture.

As goods transportation evolved, Abingdon-on-Thames embraced the development of Abingdon Lock in 1790 and the Wilts & Berks Canal in 1810, ensuring its importance in the region. Despite the closure of prominent businesses such as the Morland brewery – creators of the renowned Old Speckled Hen ale – and the Pavlova and Gloria leather works, Abingdon remains a vibrant and bustling community, with a population of 33,130 as recorded in the 2011 Census.
