The church lies at the centre of what was traditionally the largest parish in Oxfordshire. There was a late Saxon church at Bampton although only surviving part of the Saxon building is the lower section of the west tower, where traditional Saxon herringbone stonework can be seen. The present appearance of the church is largely a result of a re-modelling of 1270, when the spire was built and the aisles were added.
