Holy Trinity is set in the heart of the beautiful village of Ascott-under-Wychwood. It abounds with fascinating historical features and has been the centre of worship in the village for some 900 years.
It is mainly 12th-century and quite small and simple set in a picturesque walled Churchyard just off the Village Green. It is approached through a stunning avenue of lime trees which in the spring are carpeted with wild crocus. There is a ring of 6 bells. At the back of the church are five wooden pews, possibly the oldest in Oxfordshire.
Ascott-under-Wychwood is part of the rural Chase Benefice lying in rolling countryside in north-west Oxfordshire on the edge of the Cotswolds. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty. The benefice encompasses parishes from the Evenlode and Glyme valleys and stretches from the north-east to the south of Chipping Norton. The Benefice was formed in 2001 being a combination of two previous Benefices divided in part by the A44 trunk road running from Worcester to Oxford. It consists of the villages of Chadlington, Spelsbury and Ascott-under-Wychwood to the south of the A44 and Enstone and Heythrop to the north. The main centres of population are in Enstone and Chadlington, although each of the five villages has its own church [one parish has two!] and congregations.
