Summary Description

A Victorian village church of flint, set just south of the eponymous crossroads of Highmoor Cross, 1 mile south of Nettlebed and 4 north-west of Henley-on-Thames. Together with the large contemporary brick vicarage adjacent to the south, the church forms the visual focus of this small dispersed rural settlement. The church seems plain externally, designed in the 13th-century Gothic style with geometrical and plate tracery windows. Starting with the steeply pointed west facade, a tall gabled bellcote with finial cross gives the church some vertical emphasis. The wall beneath is pierced by a 3-light traceried pointed window above a centrally placed shallow porch with pointed doorway. Trefoil-headed 2-light pointed windows and buttresses of two weatherings to the nave side walls, lower chancel with lancets in the side walls and a 3-light east window like the west, south vestry with lancet in east gable and tall stone stack rising above.
