Shoot with care
Whilst it's ok to shoot freely outside, inside it is a church so be respectful of others.
About this spot
Banbury's only Grade I listed building, constructed from locally sourced Hornton stone. Another Banbury site with a rhyme about it, which I remember from school: "Look at Banbury's proud people, built a church without a steeple".
The interior is also nice, and I've always found the staff very friendly.
In the (now closed) cemetery, there is a plaque about the classic book, Gulliver's Travels. Apparently Jonathan Swift was visiting the town and saw several monuments and grave stones of the Gulliver family (none of which survive to this day)
