Welcome to the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Cottisford

The Church of St Mary the Virgin, Cottisford is a member of the Shelswell group of parishes.

The present stone church was built in the 13th Century on the site of a Saxon Church by the Abbot of Bec and apart from the removal of a tower it remains unchanged to the present day.

Flora Thompson based her trilogy 'Lark Rise to Candleford' on the area North East of Bicester including the nearby villages of Juniper Hill, Cottisford, Fringford and Hethe and a memorial tablet to Flora Thompson may be found within the church.
