Town near Oxford, note, toured by a major university figure (8)

'town near oxford' is the definition.
(Abingdon is a town in Oxfordshire)

'note toured by a major university figure' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'n' (abbreviation).
'toured by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (tour can mean to go around).
'major' becomes 'big' (I've seen this in other clues).
'university figure' becomes 'don' (don can mean an academic - especially at Oxbridge).
'a'+'big'='abig'
'n' going inside 'abig' is 'abing'.
'abing'+'don'='ABINGDON'
