East Hagbourne is a small village and civil parish in Oxfordshire (previously Berkshire), near Didcot.
There has been a settlement at the site since at least the tenth century and the village is mentioned in the Domesday Book where a church is recorded at the site. In recent times it has been awarded several Best Kept Village in Oxfordsire titles.
It is also claimed that one of the houses on the high street is the proud owner of the smallest window in England. This is unverified as yet.
An episode of the BBC television program Doctor Who was filmed in the village in July 1975.
