Oxfordshire Churches

St. Giles's Church, Wendlebury
The parish church of St. Giles has had a chequered history, having been partially demolished and rebuilt several times since the original Norman church was built: the south transept in the 17th century, everything else but the bell tower in the 18th century and the bell tower and 18th century south transept in the 19th century. In the 19th century the remainder of the building was restored. Since the demolition of the tower the three bells have stood in the west end of the nave. The west gable of the nave now has a bell-cot with one bell. - Roger Sweet (photographer)
