Welcome to the website for the Church of St Andrew in Oddington, Oxfordshire. We have set up this site to share with visitors the history and architecture of this beautiful mediaeval church and its surrounds, we also wanted to make everyone aware of the plans and progress for restoring this historically important church.
New additions to the site.

The Church Door
The church door has been repainted by Jeremy Launchbury, one of the team which decorated the church following the restoration in 2013. The vibrant red is the same colour as the screen in the chancel.
