Here in the parish of South with New Hinksey, we are particularly blessed with St Laurence in South Hinksey as a mediaeval gem.

St Laurence is a traditional, picturesque church situated in a quaint village. The building itself is a Grade Two listed building, being able to trace its roots back to the 12th Century Norman period. Having survived as a local place of worship through centuries, including the English Civil War where it was partially destroyed, it has gone through a number of rebuild, refurbishments and modernisations over the centuries but remains a lovely space for worship and community to this day.

The church saw a helpful addition of small kitchen and toilet in recent years, parking is available along Parker Road, and our churchyard is beautiful – particularly in springtime. Do come and meet us when you can.
