Denton is a hamlet and former civil parish, now in the parish of Cuddesdon and Denton, in the South Oxfordshire district, in Oxfordshire, England.[1][2] Denton's toponym is derived from the Old English den-tun meaning "valley farmstead".[1] Denton is in a fold of the landscape, between the two hills on which Cuddesdon and Garsington stand. Denton is an ancient manor and had its own civil parish, but it was merged with neighbouring Cuddesdon in the 20th century.

Denton was formerly a hamlet in the parish of Cuddesden,[3] in 1866 Denton became a civil parish, on 1 April 1962 the parish was abolished and merged with Cuddesden to form "Cuddesdon and Denton".[4] In 1961 the parish had a population of 112.[5]
