Our small Norman church is a short distance from Cornwell Manor house and village, and is easy to miss under a canopy of trees. You would be very welcome to join us at our quiet, traditional service on the first Sunday of every month. The church is also used for local christenings, weddings and funerals, and the harvest festival is a big annual event for the village, still very much a farming community.
Our church is part of Chipping Norton 'Benefice' along with 8 other churches: in Chipping Norton, Kingham & Churchill, Over Norton and 'The 5 Villages' (Salford, Little Compton, Cornwell, Chastleton, & Little Rollright).This parish is committed to the safeguarding, care and nurture of the children and people of all ages in our church community.
