Summary Description

Being a long, low aisleless building, with a small west bell-tower, the church makes little impact on its surroundings, but it is nevertheless attractively situated and forms a key feature in its village. The bell-cote stands on the west gable of the nave, supported internally by a timber structure (rare in Oxfordshire); each of its shingled walls has a pair of narrow lancet-shaped openings with louvres and the roof is in the form of a tiled pyramid on the apex of which is a weathercook on a pretty iron vane.

Visiting and Facilities

The church is open for worship.
