The present parish church is formed from the medieval nave of a church which had been collegiate. The ruined 14th-century chancel is of interest (Pevsner and Neave 1995, 606). Outside of it, immediately to the east of the chancel window, stands a cross which may be 12th century.
Parish church
The village of Shutford is 4.5 miles W of Banbury. St Martin's church dates from the late C12th and for many centuries it constituted a chapelry within Swalcliffe parish. The small stone building now comprises a chancel, nave, a narrow N aisle with a tower at its W end, and a wide N transept or chapel built at an angle towards the NNE. In the C13th the N aisle was extended eastwards by one bay, the N transept was added and the nave rebuilt. The surviving parts from the late Romanesque are the Transitional N aisle with an arcade of two pointed arches supported by a round pier and responds with scallop capitals, and a round-headed W window in the ground stage of the tower, probably the original W window of the N aisle. There is also a Romanesque font.
Parish church
Built of red sandstone ashlar, the church has a 12thc. aisleless nave and chancel, the latter extended in the 13thc., a 14thc. S chapel, a 15thc. W tower and a modern vestry. There are two plain round-headed windows of 12thc. date on the N side of the nave, and two in the N chancel wall, the latter windows later lengthened. Romanesque sculpture is found in the S and N nave doorways, on the string course on the N wall of the nave and chancel, in the chancel arch and on the font. There are also one window on the S side of the nave, one on the N, and a doorway leading into the vestry, all bearing sculpture related to the Romanesque work but probably of 19thc. date. Restorations were begun by the Ward family in 1859.

Parish church
This small Victorian church, set in a pleasant estate village, was rebuilt from 1845. The builders reused many Norman stones quarried from a light yellow limestone and the light grey Hildenley limestone. These stones are now weathering, diversely but decisively. They probably came from the Norman Scampston chapel, on whose foundations the present church was erected (Stratford, 1911, 7); parts of the N and W walls were retained (Pevsner and Neave, 1995, 669).
Diagonal tooling can be seen on many of the stones, but no sculpture.
