St Mary's Church, North Leigh, Anglo-Saxon church in North Leigh, England.
St Mary's Church features a stone tower with round-headed windows and traditional Saxon stonework, displaying early medieval architectural techniques.
The church construction began around the year 1000, with its tower representing one of the earliest remaining examples of Anglo-Saxon architecture in Oxfordshire.
The interior contains a Tudor wall painting divided into four sections, depicting religious scenes that reflect medieval artistic traditions.
The church stands northeast of Witney, with designated parking available across the lane in the grounds of Turner Hall.
Four outward projections on the tower serve a specific engineering purpose, protecting large tie-beams from weather deterioration.
