Binsey church is dedicated to St Margaret of Antioch, who,
according to legend, escaped from a dragon by making
the Sign of the Cross. She has been a particular object of
the devotion of women preparing for childbirth.
The churchyard contains the 'treacle well' famously
referred to in Alice in Wonderland.
There is a 9am mass on the first Sunday of every month
(except January), and 9am mass on Christmas Day and
Easter Day. There is Evensong at 3.30 pm on Sundays
from when the clocks go forward to when they go back.
