North Aston St Mary

 

The Parish

The parish of North Aston is located in the central portion of northern Oxfordshire not too far from its border with neighbouring Northamptonshire. North Aston is located about 6 miles northwest of the large market town of Bicester. North Aston is a small and compact village sitting on the western banks of the River Cherwell and its accompanying Oxfordshire Canal. North Aston sits just a half mile east of the A4260 road which connects the city of Oxford with Banbury. The parish is dominated by North Aston Hall which would have been the main employer within the village, most would have been involved with farming & ancillary trades with pastoral farming preeminent. The Cherwell drains the parish southwards to join the Thames south of Oxford and thence the North Sea through the Thames Estuary. North Aston is sited at around 130 metres above the sea in rolling countryside, local heights rise a further 30 metres and the Cherwell is some 50 metres lower. North Aston parish was of a fairly typical size for the area, it covered just under 1,300 acres and would have supported a population of just under 300 parishioners. In Domesday times North Aston was held by one Edward of Salisbury and could offer 8 ploughs, a mill and a fishery.


The Church

St Mary's church sits very close to North Aston Hall, so close it is almost touching at the western towered end of the building. Much of the building is from the Decorated era of church building, Pevsner places much of the fabric into the earlier portion of that style-period making the church spanning the late 13th and earliest 14th centuries. From the Perpendicular period of the 15th century comes the western tower and clerestory and the southern chapel is a mixture of the two styles. A significant restoration took place in 1867 at which time the northern aisle was extended to provide symmetry with its southern counterpart. The church is approached along the surfaced St Mary's Walk where a car park is sited. The churchyard is surrounded by a low local stone wall and an arched lychgate grants access. The close proximity of the church to the hall prevents adequate imagery of the tower but otherwise there are few restrictions to photography.
