Great Easton Church

is dedicated to St John & St Giles. The present structure is early Norman, but replaced a Saxon structure on the site. The large quantity of Roman brick and tiles used in the construction suggests even earlier structures. The church was originally cruciform with transepts and a central tower, but the tower and transepts fell in the 17th century.

The church has been much changed over the years, and the interior reflects extensive 19th and 20th century restorations.

The 19th century reredos, carefully restored recently, is notable. The Church has a fine peal of bells which are rung regularly by an enthusiatic team.
