All Saints' Church, Great Bourton, showing the recess containing the bell

The village church, All Saints' Church, stands prominently in the centre of the village. Although originally 13th century the church was rebuilt almost entirely in the 19th century. The west wall of the nave has a recess containing a small bell which was cast in 1673. When the church was rebuilt the unusual bell tower, separate from the church, was built over the lychgate and is one of only three such bell towers in Britain.
