Oxfordshire Churches located between the English towns and villages of Abingdon and Duns Tew.

There really are a lot of churches in Oxfordshire - with quite often even really tiny villages boasting their own local church. These village churches are often quite small but gorgeous to look at - and of course generally have lots of wildlife, wild flowers and nice trees around them too. This page of Oxfordshire Churches covers photos of the churches to be found in the county's villages and towns with names starting between A and D.
Associated with this please also take a look at our other two Oxfordshire church topics which are Oxfordshires Churches E to O and Oxfordshire Churches P to Y.

It is interesting to note how many Oxfordshire churches are named either St Mary, St Mary's or St Mary the Virgin - seems to apply to just about every other church around South Oxfordshire. Our English churches come in many shapes and sizes although ultimately the layout is in the traditional cruciform shape, aligned East to West. As mentioned many Oxfordshire villages have their own small churches which quite often date back for 100's of years - some of them belong to or were built by rich landowners so you can often find a small church near a Manor House and also located in what is now private grounds. Despite the basic shape it is quite amazing how different they often actually are in design and how beautiful many of them are to look at. They often have a very large yew tree nearby, lots of not so often seen wild flowers etc. surround the edges of the graveyards and for (the benefit of?) walkers, visitors and cyclists there are often wooden seats in the graveyards which provide a nice peaceful location for a picnic which is why we often plan our walks to arrive by a church around lunch time if possible. At least one huge Yew trees is usually to be found growing right next to the church - Yew trees are extremely long-lived and were treated by the ancient Britons as a place of burial, worship and for other important ceremonies - therefore these sacred places led the first Christians to build their new churches next to them.
