Photos of Bloxham - St Mary's historic churchOne 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 Milcombe Chapel features some excellent memorials and a very fine 16th century wall painting A traditional local rhyme says Adderbury
for length I think Bloxham gets a bit of 'bad press' in this rhyme; it is every bit as beautiful as Kings Sutton (in my view it outshines Kings Sutton and matches Adderbury in the wealth of detailed carved figures adorning both the interior and exterior of the church). The rood screen is richly decorated and the wall paintings well worth a look. click on a phoo to see a larger version of the image Church Exterior - Church
