St Matthew's Church, Langford, Anglo-Saxon church in Langford, England
St Matthew's Church features a square central tower with a hipped roof, ornate stone carvings, and six bells within its bell chamber.
Originally constructed around 1050 as a chapelry of St Mary's Bampton, the church later became a minster during the Anglo-Saxon period.
The church maintains a collection of memorial brasses, including those of Walter and Mary Prune from 1594 and 1607, displaying Elizabethan period dress.
The building opens its doors throughout the year, with access available through Church Lane, connecting from the A361 north of Lechlade on Thames.
Two stone figures wearing kilts support a sundial on the south wall tower, representing an uncommon architectural detail from the pre-Norman period.
