Horley is a village and civil parish in the north of Oxfordshire about 3 miles (5 km) north-west of Banbury.

An amateur dramatic society, Horley Footlights, has staged productions in the village every year since 2003.

[5] Early in the 13th century the nave was replaced with one with north and south aisles and a higher roof.

[4] Early in the 17th century the chancel was in disrepair and the lay rector was repeatedly asked to fund repairs.

[4] However, the tower was not put in good order until 1915,[4] when the church was restored under the direction of the Scottish architect William Weir.

[8][9] In 1947–50 the Oxford Diocesan Surveyor T. Lawrence Dale added a chancel screen and rood loft.
