1 - 2  Two views of the church from the south-east, taken in early evening, and silhouetted against the evening sky in Spring. The church with its spire is outstanding, and commands views over the surrounding area.  The spire of the church is clearly visible from the M40 motorway, a few miles north of Oxford.

Built between 1400 and 1450, it stands some 198 ft high, and measures 20ft 3ins x 17ft 9ins. "There are bands of carving, gargoyles, symbols of the four Evangelists, finials, diaper work and numerous crockets."  (Church Guide)
 

3     The nave and south aisle, looking east.  Between the nave and chancel once stood the usual Rood Screen or Loft, originally in stone, but replaced by a wooden one after the design of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1866, another victim of the Victorians. The stairs remain, near the present day altar at the chancel steps.

The south aisle is used as a Lady Chapel, and was built about 1220.  Nearby is the font, thought to be Saxon, and is associated with the baptism of St Rumbold in AD 662. It was restored for use in 1923, having been found in the churchyard.  The replacement Victorian font was then presented to another church.

The south arcade thus dates from about 1220, and the north arcade from ca. 1320
 

4     The nave and south aisle, looking east.  The Church Guide simply states "In 1840 a West Gallery was removed from the Tower Arch.  The whole church was reseated in 1842."
 

5    Details of the pew ends - dating from 1842 - and showing the hat pegs which were placed under the book rests at the front of the pews.
 

6   The chancel, showing the arcading on the south wall. Standing on Norman foundations, the chancel was restored by the late Mrs Sophia Wills in memory of her husband, which probably did away with a number of significant features, as the arcading on the south wall dates from AD 1100, whereas the arches themselves are are restoration work.
