Little Faringdon

Little Faringdon is a village and civil parish in West Oxfordshire, about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Lechlade in neighbouring Gloucestershire.

The manor was one of several in the area granted to the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey as part of its Faringdon estate by a charter of 1203 or 1204.

For the next six centuries it was an exclave of Berkshire, until the Counties (Detached Parts) Act 1844 returned it to Oxfordshire.

[7] The arcade between the nave and north aisle is in a transitional style between Norman and Early English Gothic.

The vicarage to the south of the church was designed by the Gothic Revival architect William Butterfield and completed in 1867.
