Taynton Church
Taynton church is dedicated to St Lawrence. The church is unusual in that it was built during the Commonwealth, between 1650 and 1660. It replaced an earlier medieval church which was situated almost a mile to the north-east; this earlier church was destroyed in the English Civil War in 1643. The other unusual feature is that the church lies on a north/south orientation.
