The Church of the Holy Rood was built in the 11th century and extended, including the tower, in the 15th. A Victorian restoration, between 1845 and 1850, included the addition of the north aisle and rebuilding the chancel. The limestone building consists of a nave with south porch, chancel, north aisle and west tower. A series of Saxon carvings, including one of the crucifixion, were rediscovered during rebuilding work in 1850. They predate the Norman conquest. They are dated to around 1050. The carvings were originally built into the chancel arch and are now in the nave. St Peter - The resurrection

The Domesday Book of 1086 records that a Saxon, Ælfsige of Faringdon, held the manor here. St Matthew's was established as a chapelry of the Anglo-Saxon minster of St. Mary's, Bampton. Later in the Anglo-Saxon era Langford was elevated to a minster. Langford was part of the Diocese of Lincoln until the Diocese of Oxford was established under Henry VIII in 1541. The oldest parts of the present church are the bell tower and nave, which were built in the 11th century. They may post-date the Norman conquest of England, but they are work by Anglo-Saxon masons. The north and south aisles were added in about 1200 and the south porch in the 13th century, all in the Early English Gothic style. The porch includes two Anglo-Saxon stone rood reliefs, but they are repositioned and their original sites are not known. The one on the east wall of the porch is 8th century and has lost its head. The one on the south gable of the porch is 10th century and has been assembled with Christ's left and right arms swapped over and the figures of Saint Mary and Saint John the Evangelist also transposed.

A church existed on the site in Anglo-Saxon times. St Peter´s Church built on the site of this older structure, dates from the 12th century. The church is built of limestone rubble and has a stone slate roof. The masonry has herringbone work. The plan consists of a nave with a south transept, a porch to the north, and a chancel to the east. The north entrance is Norman-style. The north and south nave walls each have a window dating from the 12th century, and a later two-light window from the 19th century. The nave also has a three-light Perpendicular style window with tracery. The Rev. John Keble was vicar of St Peter's from 1823 to 1825. During his time at Southrop, he found a Norman-style circular baptismal font in the church wall. The font is dated about 1180. As it was obviously moved for safety and "hidden" in the wall, it is in perfect condition. Patientia - Patience over Wrath

Eastleach was created in 1935 when the separate parishes of Eastleach Turville and Eastleach Martin were combined as a civil parish. The two villages of the parish - Eastleach Turville and Eastleach Martin -are separated only by the narrow River Leach. The Church of St Andrew at Eastleach (Turville) is neighbouring the St Michael and St Martin's Church on the other side of the River Leach. It was built in the 12th century. The nave, north wall and arch of the chancel were built in the 12th century. In the 13th a north aisle and tower were added. Various restorations and revisions were carried out in the 17th to 19th centuries. The building has stone slate roofs. It consists of a chancel, nave with north transept and a west tower. The saddleback tower was added in the late 12th or early 13th century. The Norman doorway, which dates from around 1130, has a carved tympanum with Christ in Majesty in the centre with angels on either side.
