St Mary's, Broughton, is in the north of the county, 4 km west of Banbury, situated in the parkland of Broughton Castle. The church is built of the local ironstone and comprises a chancel, nave, S aisle and a W tower with a broach spire. Both the church’s layout and characteristics, such as the almost identical width of the nave and the S aisle, suggest a possible remodeling of an earlier building, which took place c. 1300, with further changes made in the course of the century. The only Romanesque feature is the font decorated with a band of cable and chevron moulding.
