The Building
Dating from the 13th century, the grade I listed building is a landmark along the
road between Oxford and Stratford-
Inside the porch is a recumbent stone figure, with much speculation but little fact as to its origin. Once inside the church, the fine gothic proportions reflect the importance of the wool trade in the area that funded the building and alterations in earlier centuries.
The chancel was refitted by the Victorians and is entered through a Woodyer screen. At the west end, alterations in 2004 provided facilities to hold meetings, catering, work with children’s groups and a place for quiet contemplation in the upper room behind the balcony, where the St. Peter window allows views of sheep grazing in the field beyond the churchyard
We are a lively and growing church, welcoming visitors and new members. There are services for all, a beautiful building to visit with teas served on Sunday afternoons in the summer. The church is easy to find, on the A3400. Both church and lych gate are clearly visible in the centre of Long Compton.
