Description
The church of St Winifred was originally built between 1133 and 1160 in the Norman era and enlarged in stages over the next 200 years, but some archaeological evidence suggesting there may have been a former Saxon building on the site. The church contains a memorial to the Wadham family, who succeeded the original Branscombe family as lords of the manor in the late fourteenth century. their house at Edge Barton, in the north of the parish still exists. When Nicholas Wadham died in 1609 his fortune was used to found Wadham Collage, Oxford.
