If you've just finished the Oxford Canal Walk, you'll have earned yourself a refreshment in the Greyhound Inn, a traditional canalside inn with a higgledy-piggledy interior.

St John’s is a pretty Norman parish church that contains one the finest crypts in the country. The Grade I-listed church was built in the 12th century and modified over the next 300 years. The half-timbered two-storey south porch was added in the 16th century. The grave of Maud Watson can be found near the porch and south wall. Watson became the first Ladies’ Singles Lawn Tennis Champion at Wimbledon in 1884 after beating her sister in the final.

Good Pit Stop

The Church of England parish church of St. John Baptist is a late-12th century Norman building, notable for its two-part crypt. The eastern part is a rectangular space of two bays under the chancel. The western part is an unusual octagonal space under the eastern part of the nave. Later features of the church include the Perpendicular Gothic windows of the north aisle and the two-storied wooden porch. Berkswell's toponym is derived from the Berks Well, a 16 ft (5 m) square, stone-walled water well just outside the churchyard. It is said to have been used for baptisms by immersion and can still be seen today. There are several 16th and 17th century houses in the village. The Bear Inn dates from the 16th century. The local history society runs a small museum in a 17th-century cottage near the church. Ram Hall, about 0.5 miles (800 m) southeast of the village, was built about 1600. The Old Rectory, now called The Well House, south of the church, is early 18th century, then replacing a rectory whose records go back to early 17th century. The almshouses were built in 1853. There is a village green on which are the stocks[5] that were used for punishing petty offenders. It is claimed that these were especially built for a one-legged ex-soldier and his two drinking companions as there are only five leg holes. On Windmill Lane is the protected and restored Berkswell Windmill, a fine example of a tower millwith its original machinery. Other local features include Marsh Lane Nature Reserve. There is a small Church of England primary school near the church on Church Lane.
