St. Nicholas Church, Chadlington

Venue for Jonathon Veira, Choral Concert, Meet the Artists, and the Dawn Concert.

The beautiful church of St. Nicholas is situated in the heart of the idyllic village of Chadlington which has been denoted an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Chadlington is on the Wychwood way and lies approximately 3 miles south-west of Chipping Norton. A long village divided into five 'ends' some of which are almost separate hamlets, Chadlington overlooks the broad Evenlode Valley towards remnants of the Wychwood Forest. Wild Grape Hyacinths grow on the old allotment site near West End and this flower has become intrinsically linked with Chadlington as it is relatively rare in other parts of the country. There are large arable fields above the village and several streams flow through the parish to join the River Evenlode below.

St Nicholas' Church was built in 1100 and was originally Norman with subsequent alterations in the Early English Style. The Church is enriched with a fascinating array of Gargoyles.
