Christ Church is a 19th century building set above a road, in a peaceful rural location, built to replace the now ruined St John the Baptist church in the centre of the village.

It is likely that the earliest church on this site was a Welsh church, dedicated to St Freit (which is Celtic for St Bridget or Bride, hence its name today).

You can spot this church from miles away although it lies in the Cherwell Valley, its spire, dating from around 1370 is both the most beautiful and tallest in the county at 60 metres high.
