Description
The Church of St Simon and St Jude is a Church of England church located in Milton-under-Wychwood, built between 1853 and 1854. It was designed by G E Street, who was the Diocesan Architect for Oxford at the time. The church is constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features concrete tile roofs. It is designed in a late 13th-century style and consists of a 5-bay aisled nave with a south porch and a 2-bay chancel with a south chapel.
Notable architectural features include a large west buttress supporting a central octagonal belfry, which is topped by a spirelet and has minimal lucarnes and gables. The side windows have plate tracery, while the clerestory features foiled spherical triangles. The lancets flanking the west buttress display geometrical tracery, and there is a prominent 5-light east window. The south porch showcases 1300-style mouldings and has a pointed entrance on heavy responds. Inside, the porch is vaulted with a domical vault supported by ribs, and the south door has a treble chamfer with pyramidal stops. The south aisle features a cusped head archway leading from the porch, and the west window of the porch is stunted with oval tracery.
