Fulbrook is a village and civil parish immediately northeast of Burford in West Oxfordshire. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 437.
The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded the village as Fulebroc, possibly meaning "foul brook".
Ladyham, a half-timbered house beside the River Windrush, was built in the 16th century and had a five-bay façade added in the Georgian era. Westhall Hill Manor is 16th or 17th century, also with Georgian additions.
The Church of England parish church of Saint James the Great is Norman. The north aisle was added about 1200, linked with the nave by a four-bay arcade in the Transitional style between Norman and Early English Gothic. In the 13th century the chancel was remodelled and the north transept were added, both in Early English Gothic. The south porch was added later in the same century. The east window of the chancel, the west window of the north aisle and one window in the south wall or the aisle are also 13th century. Later a clerestory was added to the nave and new Perpendicular Gothic windows were inserted in the south walls of the nave and chancel. In the 15th century the bell tower was built into the west end of the nave.
