Sandford-on-Thames, also referred to as simply Sandford, is a village and civil parish in the South Oxfordshire district, in Oxfordshire, England, beside the River Thames, just south of Oxford. The village is just west of the A4074 road between Oxford and Henley. In 2001 the parish had a population of 1336.
==Early history== In 1086 the Domesday Book counted 18 families as living by the sandy ford over the Thames between Iffley and Radley. Six hundred years later the population of the village had barely doubled, and it was still under 200 people at the start of the 19th century. Today the population numbers more than 1,000 and the parish boundaries have undergone considerable revision.
