This church, which is dedicated to the Holy Cross (Latin "Santa Croce"), takes its patronage from the cross on which Jesus Christ died. The veneration of the Holy Cross goes back in large part to Saint Helena, who was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who recognized Christianity as a religion after his victory at the "Milvian Bridge" in front of Rome and ended the long period of persecution with the "Edict of Toleration" of Milan in 312). In the early fourth century, she made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel / Palestine) and brought numerous relics back to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Helena is therefore often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The church celebrates the feast of the discovery, public presentation and veneration of the Holy Cross - called the "Exaltation of the Cross" - on September 14th.

Worton Kitchen Garden is a delightful hidden gem serving delicious food and cakes.

Have look at Bladon's parish Church of St Martin's. There has been a church on this site for over 800 years. The place oozes history - Henry 2 and Tomas Becket walked together here. Edward the Black Prince grew up here and Elizabeth 1 was imprisoned nearby.

Also in chancel is medieval child's coffin. Ledger stone in nave to Edward Egleton, d,1722. Pictures of church before restoration show that chancel had north chapel (whence tomb recess was moved) and that present C14 porch lay to south. William Turner was an Oxford watercolourist and his uncle William Turner of The Manor (q.v.) provided the money for restoration.

Shipton-on-Cherwell is a fine little village on the River Cherwell and the Oxford Canal. Its manor house was once the residence of artist William Turner, who went on to design the Church of the Holy Cross, the local parish church. To the north of the village is what was once the largest limestone quarry in the country and is now a Site of Special Scientific Interest. This is due to the reptilian fossils found on the site, particularly that of ancient crocodilians.
