- 1. St Helen, Albury, Oxfordshire, England
-
-
Parish church Demolished and rebuilt in 1828. A painting and an engraving made shortly before that date (Bodl. MS Top. Oxon. a.65, No.34; Bodl. G.A. Oxon.a.76 f.3) show that there were plain, round-headed doorways in both the N and S walls of the nave, the former with continuous chamfers or rolls and a label. The font is the only Romanesque feature.
- 2. St Nicholas, Asthall, Oxfordshire, England
-
-
Parish church Asthall is a village in the Windrush valley, 3.5 miles downstream of the important Taynton quarries. The church consists of chancel, nave, N aisle and 15thc. W tower. The nave is presumably Transitional or earlier since it retains a Transitional N arcade and elements of a Romanesque chancel arch. The N aisle retains in its E wall the crease of its original high-pitched roof, but was otherwise rebuilt in the late 13thc. and later. The chancel is 13thc., as is the N chapel, which was remodelled in the 14thc. The arches from the chancel and N aisle into the N chapel are (pace Pevsner) 13thc., though the latter re-uses two late Romanesque shafts. The whole church was savagely restored in the 19thc., partly in a Romanesque style which confuses analysis of its architectural development.

Quasi-collegiate church in 12thc., now parish church St Mary's is a large church, now consisting of chancel, N vestry, S chancel chapel, N transept with E chapel, S transept with W chapel, crossing with tower and spire, and aisled nave. Remains of the primary nave, rubble-built with herringbone courses, are 11thc. or earlier. The chancel arch is late 11thc. or early 12thc.; there is documentary evidence, and some archaeological evidence, for a big W tower existing by the 1140s. The church was grandly remodelled during the second half of the 12thc. The tower on crossing-arches was raised over the E part of the former nave, large new transepts and chancel were built, and there was probably a S aisle. A plain round-headed single-splayed window remains in the W wall of each transept. The belfry openings, one in each face of the tower, were remodelled in the 13thc. but retain the plain square jambs and under-chamfered abaci of the 12thc. openings. It was stated in 1871 that `the rough traces of three or four Norman windows in the N wall [of the chancel] were brought to light, when the plaster was stripped. All the masonry of these windows had been apparently removed' (Notes of an Excursion..., 34-5).

-
-
Parish church The church consists of chancel, nave, N and S aisles and W tower, the detail predominantly 13thc. except for the very lavish 14thc. N aisle and the Transitional S arcade. The church also has a 12thc font.
- 7. St Mary, Pyrton, Oxfordshire, England
-
-
Parish church Nave and chancel, largely rebuilt by J. C. Buckler in 1854 but preserving their basic original lines. The papers relating to the restoration specify the retention of the Romanesque features (VCH, Oxon. viii, 172). The N and S chancel walls each contains a round-headed window decorated internally with a large continuous nook-roll springing from tall attic bases with a hollow scotia (Rigold's type 59); the N window is largely genuine internally (but 19thc. externally), but the S window is Victorian.
- 8. Holy Rood, Shilton, Oxfordshire, England
-
-
Parish church The church consists of a 13thc. chancel, Romanesque nave and S aisle, 13thc. N porch and 15thc. W tower. There is a small round-headed window in the E wall of the S aisle. The chancel arch was probably adapted in the 13thc. from a Romanesque arch with plain square jambs.
- 9. All Saints, Shirburn, Oxfordshire, England
-
-
Parish church The church was much rebuilt in the 19thc., but retains 13thc. arcades. The small, simple W tower is apparently 12thc. (diagonal tooling on quoins), and has on the third stage a single round-headed belfry opening in the W wall, and a twin round-headed opening with central shaft in the N wall. The two re-set fragments described below were found under the floor and placed in their present positions in 1876 (VCH Oxon. viii, 195).

- 11. St Giles, Standlake, Oxfordshire, England
-
-
Formerly chapel, now parish church St Giles's is a substantial church, comprising large early 13thc. chancel, early 13thc. N and S transepts, nave with early 14thc. N and S aisles, and a mid 14thc. W tower. Probably surviving from a late 12thc. church are (a) the very thick W wall of the nave with broad pilaster-buttresses, perhaps originally the W wall of a W tower, and (b) the chancel arch and the wall which contains it.
- 12. St Mary, Waterperry, Oxfordshire, England
-
-
Parish church The first phase was a small Saxo-Norman 'overlap' church comprising aisleless nave and apsidal chancel; of this the chancel arch survives, tall, round-headed and undecorated (Taylor and Taylor 1965, 641; Hassall 1972). In the later 12thc. the S aisle was added, with a two-bay arcade; apparently shortly afterwards, the nave, arcade and aisle were lengthened by one bay westwards. Early 13thc. chancel, with late 14thc. chancel arch inserted into Saxo-Norman one.

Parish church St Mary's is a small two-cell church. The nave is 12thc. and the south porch a later medieval addition, but the nave was lengthened westwards in the 19thc and given a a timber bell-turret towards the west end. The chancel has 13thc. windows, but some or all of the corbel-table is 12thc.
