Nuneham Courtenay is an unusual village of small, mainly semi-detached, single storey, and very uniform cottages which line each side of the main road. The cottages are brick built with tiled roofs and dormers in the attic and shutters to the windows on the ground floor. The name 'Nuneham' means 'new village' and the 'Courtenay' part of the name comes from the Curtenay Family, who lived here in the thirteenth century.
The village was originally listed as 'Newham' in the Domesday Book. It was originally inside Nuneham Park and consisted of pretty white cottages scattered around a piece of water and shaded by a number of fine trees. However, in 1760 the whole village was rebuilt and relocated on the main road because the 1st Earl of Harcourt thought the existing medieval cottages spoiled the view from his new house and landscaped park.
