This is a beautiful and striking church, set in beautiful grounds. It is unsurprising that it's Grade I listed. The church dates back to the Norman times. The semicircular apse has early 13th century wall paintings. The nave inside the church is aisleless, giving a very impressive view of the choir and the sanctuary.

Some describe the view from this hill (at 182m) as the best view in Woodcote. It sure is lovely - to the south-east, over the paddocks and then College Wood, you can see the distant landscape miles away from here. Worth stopping to enjoy.

Welcome to the beautiful College Wood: tall beech trees, wide tracks (delightfully leafy underfoot in the autumn) - and no motorbikes are allowed here as a few horse stiles have been installed. So if you want to not only "walk in beauty" as Sir Tennyson did, but also wish for silence and serenity, you have now found the place.

Nice woodland with bridleway/footpaths running through. Excellent spot for Bluebells in the spring. Scenic climb/descent from/to Battle Road to the south, reached from Beechlane track to the north.

The 12th Century Church of St Peter and St Paul is a Grade One listed building containing fine examples of Romanesque architecture. St Birinus first brought Christianity to these Chiltern Hills of South Oxfordshire in the 7th century, converting the chieftain, Caeca, of the local settlement, or ‘Den’ – hence the name Checkendon. It may be that the very first church was a small wattle and daub structure built on the site of a local pagan shrine. In the 12th century, influenced by the monks of Bec, the present nave, chancel and semicircular apse were erected with a wooden tower over the chancel.
