For reference, here is a map of the Earth's landmasses during that period. [0]

The climate near Oxfordshire during the Middle Jurassic period would have been "humid, subtropical."

And underwater if that map is anything to go by.

After I posted that, I found this map [0] to try to figure that out. Still not sure, exactly. Would it have been on the Anglo-Brabant Landmass, or the Pennine?

I mean, clearly it was above sea level, right?

Pennine is further north (modern Derbyshire/Peak District [1]), so unlikely there. The Anglo-Brabant Landmass is the most likely location as it juts into the eastern Cotswold region (Oxfordshire).

Probably not by much. Think like Louisiana but with dinosaurs.
