One of the real gems among Oxfordshire churches, St Mary's, Bloxham, makes an immediate impression with its lovely tower and spire dominating the main road through the village from Chipping Norton to Banbury. The origins of the church lie in the 13th century, but most of what remains is 14th and 15th century.
The superb spire is an excellent example of Decorated Gothic style. Similarities between Bloxham and its near neighbour of Adderbury suggest that the same group of medieval masons worked on both churches.
