History

The church was originally thatched and was occupied by the Horsington Anglican rectory who were living at the church and rectory by it at the time. The rectory and church were a gift given by the Magdalen College in Oxford who owned the land and the church and were also the de facto provider of the villages Lords of the Manor. The church was eventually rebuilt in 1860 with a spire, bigger hall and red brick design. The church remains the parish church of the village and surrounding hamlets.
