Chacombe (sometimes Chalcombe in the past) is a village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, about north-east of Banbury. It is bounded to the west by the River Cherwell, to the north by a tributary and to the south-east by the Banbury–Syresham road. The 2011 Census gave a parish population of 659 and a 2019 estimate 693.
==Etymology== In 1086 the Domesday Book recorded the toponym as Cewecumbe. In most later Medieval documents it is recorded as Chaucumba. The name is thought to be from Old English: a compound of a personal name Ceawa and the word cumb, meaning "valley". Thus the name meant "Ceawa's valley".
