This church stands at the east end of the village High Street. Parts of the church date back to the 14th century, such as the beautiful tower, but the church is also a result of much Victorian rebuilding. The battlements, with flushwork decoration dated 1534, bear the de Vere arms. The de Veres were the Earls of Oxford, hence the village name, who lived at nearby Castle Hedingham and owned much of the surrounding land.
