Christians have worshiped in Tackley since Anglo-Saxon times and archeological evidence suggests that the first stone church in Tackley dates from this period, The village of Tackley lies along an old Roman road that may have been an important route for minster churches before the Conquest and it is possible that the original church functioned as a minster.

Although the present-day church contains traces of Anglo-Saxon workmanship, over all the church is hodge-podge of mainly medieval styles that illustrates the buildings long use and care and which meld together to form a lovely space soaked in generations of prayer. Presently, we are constructing a kitchenette and toilets to make the building more welcoming to families.

Perhaps the most noticeable characteristic of the building is that it is now entered from the north side of the church. The reason for this is that the village has moved since the MIddle Ages, having before then been situated to the east of the church.

Today, the parish church is home to a small but dedicated and welcoming congregation. Our Rector is assisted by both a retired Methodist minister and an Eastern Catholic priest, which speaks to our breadth of vision and dedication to God's Kingdom in all its guises. Presently, there is an active Children and Youth ministry, bellringers, Bible study group, and women’s prayer group. Midweek prayers are said on Wednesday mornings at 9.15 am.
