St Michael & All Angels Churchyard
Newton Purcell, Cherwell District, Oxfordshire, England
Architectural evidence suggests that the Church of England parish church of Saint Michael and All Angels was built in the Norman style in the middle of the 12th century. The earliest documentary evidence of the church's existence is slightly later, when Ralph Purcel granted the church to the Augustinian Bicester Priory in 1200. Of this original church little survives except a 12th century Norman doorway and a 13th century piscina. In 1813 the church was repaired and most of its original features were destroyed. In 1875 the architect C.N. Beazley restored the building and added the vestry, bell-turret and south porch. St. Michael's rectory was built in 1844.St. Michael's parish is now part of the Shelswell benefice
