Lewknor is a village in the county of Oxfordshire, UK. It is located at the foot of the Chiltern Hills close to junction 6 of the M40 motorway, approximately halfway between Oxford and Reading, Berkshire. The Icknield Way (an ancient route from Cromer in Norfolk to Avebury in Wiltshire) now known as The Ridgeway long distance path, passes near the village to the east. The parish church of St Margaret was gifted by All Souls College, Oxford which still owns land in the village.
