About this church

The church was remodelled in the late 13th century adding the South aisle. There was a long remodelling period in the late 14th, early 15th century when the West tower, clerestory, North chapel and South porch were added. In the 17th century refenestration and rebulding of the North aisle and chapel was undertaken. The chancel screen is said to have been a gift to the church by Archbishop Laud, perhaps when he was chancellor of Oxford University from 1629-1633. Other features of note include some very nicely carved medieval heads decorating the nave arches.
