Churchill is a village and civil parish about three miles (five kilometres) southwest of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The village was rebuilt higher up the hill, with stone houses instead of the old timber-framed and thatched cottages.

The line had a small railway station, Sarsden Halt, 1⁄4 mi (400 m) northwest of Churchill.

In 1348 the church of which the chancel – now the Churchill Heritage Centre – is the last remaining part was built in the Decorated Gothic style.

The old church fell into disrepair, but the chancel was retained and used as a mortuary chapel and to house the memorials and in 1869 the Gothic Revival architect CC Rolfe added a new east window.

The Heritage Centre opened in 2001 in the restored chancel which now houses a collection of maps and historical records of the village from 1600 to the present, as well as displays about Warren Hastings and William Smith.

Having received a Heritage Lottery Fund grant in 2010, the building has been refurbished with new interactive displays and oral history recordings.

In a restoration appeal for the tower in 1975, Sir John Betjeman wrote of it: It is a beautiful landmark and has [...] been an eye-catcher for miles around, and a delightful one.

In imitation of the May morning celebrations at Magdalen College, villagers gather at sunrise on 1 May each year and sing from the stairs and pulpit.

A monolith, made of stone found in nearby Sarsden Wood, was erected in 1891 at the behest of the 3rd Earl of Ducie, commemorates William Smith.

A memorial fountain, erected in 1870 at the behest of Julia, Countess of Ducie, commemorates her father, James Haughton Langston.

A squat, square tower with obelisks and flying buttresses carrying a dumpy spire.

Buses run peak hours only, Monday to Friday, linking Kingham railway station and Chipping Norton via Churchill.
