This is a tiny part of the fine Anglican Parish church of St James the Great in my home village of Radley. Built in 1290, it is a beautiful building with the original - and rare - wooden pillars still standing. In the Civil War, a battle in and around the church led to the destruction of the north aisle and transept, giving it a rather lop-sided look which remains to this day.
