Arthur Mee - The King's England, Oxfordshire.
Wendlebury – By a Running Brook.
A wayside brook runs under many little bridges by its garden walls. Its simple towerless church stands on a bank above the houses. It was made new in the 18th century and restored in modern days, with wagon roofs and walls of cream plaster. Some of its windows are from the 14th century church, twice moved since they were built, and from the same old church came the built-up tower arch, a tomb in a recess, and a bracket in the north chapel with a much-worn carving of a woman with a mass of curly hair. A window of its own time has been set in the built-up arch of the tower, and by it on the floor stand three old bells which will possibly ring no more. The oldest possession of the church is its Norman font; one of its rectors christened children at the round tapering bowl for half a century
W. Hobart Bird – Old Oxfordshire Churches.
The church of St. Giles appears to have been completely rebuilt in 1769 and considerably restored in 1902. It is a bare looking building with bright red tiles and no relief to the roof-line. No tower or even bell-cote is visible, although when one looks for it there is one on the West wall. Many of the original hood-moulds appear to have been reused and probably some Decorated window tracery restored. The East window of the transept evidently is reused. It is Transitional Early English, two lights with a roundel over.
The font is Norman and of an uncommon design. One of the old bells from the original tower stands near the font.
