It is bounded to the north by the River Great Ouse, to the east by a tributary, to the west by a northern part of Oxfordshire and to the south by field boundaries.

The village formerly straddled the A421, bypassed since 1998 by its local dual carriageway.

The parish comprises about 2300 acre of arable fields and pasture with the residual woodland similar in extent to the volume of homes with gardens.

Homes

Part of the village is a Conservation Area; 27 of the approximately 548 dwellings are listed buildings.. Before adding the village's newest homes, two earlier main growth spurts took place; between 1821 and 1851 which saw the number of houses rise from 80 to 205;[https://www.visionofbritain.org/census/table/GB1851POP2_M1?u_id=10158126&show=DB Vision of Britain, housing tables 1800s for Tingewick AP/EP] University of Portsmouth and others and between 1931 and 20 years later, when the number of households rose from 171 to 235.housing tables mid 20th century for Tingewick AP/EP University of Portsmouth and others

History

The remains of a Roman villa provide evidence of early habitation in the parish. It is about 440 yd northeast of the village, about 200 yd from the river and lies east of Tingewick Mill. The villa was partly excavated in 1860–62.

The toponym is a simplified corruption of Old English Teod[a]'s farmstead or farm; the Domesday Book of 1086, a book which usually uses "ch" or "che" instead of "k", records the village as Tedinwiche.

The earliest part of the Church of England parish church of Saint Mary Magdalene are the walls and floor of the Norman 12th century nave. chancel and bell-tower were added late in the 15th century. The north aisle was altered in the 17th century, the south aisle was added in 1830 and the south porch in 1867.

The tower has a ring of five bells. and is inscribed Nomen Magdalene Campana Gerit Melodie. Robert Atton of Buckingham cast the fourth bell in 1623 and the treble bell in 1627. The youngest bell in the ring is the tenor, cast by Henry Bagley III of Chacombe and Witney in 1721.

Amenities

The village has no pubs or restaurants – the Royal Oak closed to custom in 2024 as did The Crown, a low category listed building in 2013. Tingewick has a village hall, a Post Office and village shop, a pottery, an animal feed warehouse and a farm supplies depot.

Roundwood Primary School, is the merger of Tingewick and Gawcott infant schools.

The village held three large charity concerts called 'Party in the Paddock' in 2004, 2005 and 2008. The event has included acts such as Bernie Marsden, Roger Daltrey (The Who), Zak Starkey, Marillion and Don Airey.
