Church of St Laurence

The Church of St Laurence is a Grade II* listed building located on the east side of Thame Road in Warborough. It dates from the early 13th century, with additions from the 14th and 15th centuries, and features a tower built in 1666. The chancel was restored in 1881 by the architects Bodley and Garner. The church is constructed from clunch rubble and flint, with limestone dressings, and has an old plain-tile roof. It comprises a nave, chancel, south transept, west tower, and north vestry.

The 13th-century chancel includes a 14th-century east window with Reticulated tracery, a 15th-century window with two cinquefoil lights to the north, and a similar window to the south, situated between a two-light 13th-century window with plate tracery and a 13th-century doorway featuring a roll-moulded outer arch and detached shafts with stiff-leaf capitals. The south transept has a two-light window with Reticulated tracery. The nave, which has flint walls, features segmental-arched windows with Perpendicular tracery (one from the 19th century) and a south doorway with a moulded arch, sheltered by a 19th-century timber-framed open porch. The nave roof has two dormers adorned with elaborate 19th-century barge boards.

The three-stage crenellated tower is built with banded flint and stone, and has chequered octagonal corner turrets. It features four-centre arched openings with recessed spandrels and labels, and the west wall displays the year 1666 in flushwork.

Inside, the east window has detached jamb shafts with stiff-leaf capitals from an earlier window, and there are remnants of similar arcading in the south wall. The nave and chancel boast seven-canted coupled-rafter roofs, likely from the 14th century. Above the 19th-century chancel screen, the plastered tympanum is painted with 17th-century Prince of Wales feathers and the monogram "CP".

Notable fittings include a small octagonal 17th-century pulpit and a 17th-century parish chest. The Romanesque lead font has arcaded sides and stands on a 14th-century stone base with traceried panels, while the strapwork cover is likely from the 17th century. The glass features medieval fragments in the chancel's north window, two late-19th-century stained-glass windows, and three early 19th-century windows by A.J. Davies.
