Church of England The
Church of England parish church of Saint
John the Baptist was a
chapel of ease of St Mary the Virgin, Adderbury until 1855. The
chancel arch is 13th-century. The building has north and south
aisles linked to the
nave by 14th century
arcades of three
bays each. There used to be a
bell tower over the north aisle. In 1844 the architects
John Plowman and
H.J. Underwood effected an almost complete rebuilding of St John's that included demolishing the old tower and replacing it with the current west tower. The tower has a
ring of eight bells, all from the
Whitechapel Bell Foundry. Thomas II Mears cast a ring of five bells (the present fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and tenor bells) in 1843. The present treble, second and third bells were cast and hung in 1974, increasing the ring to eight. The tower has an iron-framed
turret clock that was made by John Wise of London in 1700. The clock was renewed and modified in 1843, likely by Thomas Strange of Banbury. The church is a
Grade II* listed building.
