FACTS:
The church is described as having a "spacious nave, and north aisle of the middle ages. The chancel, of the Saxon style, is probably the same structure that is described in the Doomsday Book." In addition to the mother church there were anciently three chapels in the parish of Blockley. One was situated in Blockley Warren, one at Paxford, of neither of which does any trace remain; and the third at Aston. Dugdale, in his Antiquities of Warwickshire, speaking of Stretton-on-Fosse, observes that it was formerly a chapel belonging to the Church of Blockley. For some centuries Blockley was the only place of sepulture for several other adjacent parishes. Nash mentions Bourton-on-the-Hill, Moreton-in-Marsh, and Batsford as having formerly buried at Blockley; from which parishes, as well as Stretton-on-Fosse, the Vicar of Blockley formerly claimed mortuaries.
