Belchier Monument SS Peter & Paul at Deddington displays the warm toffee-colouring of north Oxfordshire's ironstone to good effect. The tower with it's gilt-weathervaned pinnacles is the main landmark of this small town. The main body of this very grand church dates mostly from the 13th and 14th centuries, but the tower and west end of the aisles were built after the original steeple collapsed in 1634. Rebuilding was interrupted by the Civil War and not completed untuil 1683-5. This 17th century work blends well with the medieval church, only in some of the carved details of doors and windows is the later date apparent. Statues of the church's patron saints were re-used on the west side (only their lower halfs are medieval). The spacious interior contains two medieval monuments and a curious north porch with a shallow gothic dome (part of the 17th century reconstruction). The most significant artworks are in stained glass; there are two windows by C.E.Kempe, but far more impressive are the superb Arts & Crafts period windows in the north aisle by Archibald J. Davies of the Bromsgrove Guild, some of the very finest glass of it's date.
