Longworth is situated within the historic market town of Abingdon‑on‑Thames, a civil parish on the River Thames in Oxfordshire. The town sits in the Vale of the White Horse district, an area noted for its rolling countryside and historic sites. Abingdon has a long history, being occupied from the early to middle Iron Age, with remains of a late Iron Age and Roman defensive enclosure lying beneath the town centre. The Abbey, founded around 676, gave the town its name and became a focal point for the community. In the 13th and 14th centuries the town flourished as an agricultural hub, trading wool, weaving and clothing manufacture, and received charters for markets and fairs from monarchs ranging from Edward I to George II. The postal district OX 13 places Longworth within the broader Abingdon area, linking it to the wider Oxfordshire community.
