Little Rollright lies on the border of North West Oxfordshire, three miles from Chipping Norton and close to the ancient stone circle monument, the Rollright Stones.
Our church dates back to the 13th century, and lies in a quiet, unspoilt valley alongside the manor and its outbuildings. The church is unusually light with it's large clear windows. However, the church has no electricity and services are held once a month during the summer months only.
The highlight of the church year is the timeless Christmas Eve service, which takes place in an atmosphere of candlelight and draws many worshippers to its peaceful celebration.
Our church is part of Chipping Norton 'Benefice' along with 8 other churches: in Chipping Norton, Kingham & Churchill, Over Norton and 'The 5 Villages' (Salford, Little Compton, Cornwell, Chastleton, & Little Rollright).

We are a lively Anglican Church, a short walk down the hill from the centre of our wonderful market town.
We are passionate about serving Jesus and growing together in our relationship with God as we worship, pray and learn together from the Bible. Our greatest desire is to see each life in and around our town transformed by Jesus' life-changing love as we reach out and serve our community, sharing our lives with the people around us.We'd love you to join us at our Sunday services. Our main service of worship and celebration is at 10.30, when we run youth and children's groups every week so that the whole family can be welcomed and nurtured. We'd love to meet you!
During the week we meet in small groups for teaching, worship, prayer and friendship. Also if you'd like to look further into what the Christian faith is all about, we'd love you to join us on Alpha, so do check out the details of that on the website.
If you'd like to get more involved with any aspect of the life and work of the church, or if you simply want to find out more, please look around our website (which continues to be updated) and contact us.
