Brief description

"St Margaret's Church" is a Grade I listed building dating from the early 12th century. The Chancel, South Aisle, Porch, and Font date from this period.

The piscina and sedilia date from the 14th century and The Tower and Vestry were added from the 15th century onwards.

Restoration to parts of the church was undertaken during the mid-1800s by James Johnson.

The stained-glass Northeast and Southeast windows were designed by William Morris & Co. (1873-1876) and are believed to have originally been used in Llandaff Church, Cardiff (1869). 

A full architectural description of the church is available online from the British Listed Buildings website Church of St Margaret, Lewknor, Oxfordshire (britishlistedbuildings.co.uk)
