The hamlet of Shorthampton in Chilson civil parish is about 2 miles (3 km) west of Charlbury in Oxfordshire England. It is little more than a farm and the church. All Saints Church is a Grade II listed building listed 27 August 1957. All Saints Church is small and humble and lies at the end of a cup-de-sac to the east of Chilson, and approached from the minor road leading from Charlbury to the Burford road. It has no tower or spire and an unusual boxlike appearance with shallow roofs and square headed windows. The church is most noted for its 15th century wall paintings. Fragments of medieval wall paintings, including the early C14 St. Leonard and St. Frideswide on the north wall, the rare C15 Miracle of the Clay Birds from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas on the south reveal of the squint, remains of the C15 Last Judgement over the chancel arch, and the C15 legend of St. Eloi and the horse, a rare depiction of St. Zita, St. George and the Dragon, and St. Eligius, scenes from the Bible, including the last Judgemant and Jonah, and a Saint teaching a child - all on the south wall of the nave. Other faded fragments, including remains of colour on the chancel arch. Late C17 or early C18 painted texts on the west wall with scrolled surrounds, one illegible and the other with the inscription "Now my God/let (I beseech thee)/thine eyes be open/and let thine ears be/..... unto the prayer/that is made in this/place/II Chrons Chap/VI v.10", Some probably late C17 or early C18 painted gadrooning above south doorway.

The chancel is simply a Bible on an alter. Behind the Chancel is a large window which looks out over the Evenlode valley.

The oldest parts of the Church of England parish church of All Saints are Norman; in the north wall of the nave, a round-headed lancet window from this period survives The chancel arch was built in the 13th or 14th century and even when rebuilt in Tudor times, was not added to. Most of the current windows are Perpendicular Gothic. In the18th century box pews were added and a south porch was built in the 19th century.

In order for worshippers to see the altar, a squint on the south side of the chancel archway was added in the 15th Century.
18th Century worshippers sat as they still do today, in box pews and listened to sermons from the Georgian two-dicker pulpit which is complete with wig-stand. A larger (longer) pew was for the squire, longer but equally uncomfortable, boxes for the farmers, and benches at the back for the farm-workers, woodsmen and domestics. These benches may also have been intended for the quire.
It is possible that the local people were immortalized in the corbel heads: a mood, a bearded man, a lady with a head dress.
