Saint Thomas More in Begbroke is a modern church that serves as a spiritual centre for the local community.
Unlike many religious buildings in the Cotswolds, this one doesn't showcase centuries of accumulated history in its architecture, but instead offers a contemporary space for worship and reflection. The church takes its name from Saint Thomas More, the English statesman and writer whose principled resistance to Henry VIII's religious authority made him a significant historical figure.
The village of Begbroke sits just north of Oxford, making it well positioned for visitors exploring the wider area. You can easily combine a visit to the church with time spent in Oxford itself, wandering through its famous colleges, browsing its museums, or experiencing the energy of the city centre. The church provides a valuable counterpoint to those busier tourist attractions, offering a genuinely quiet space where you can step away from sightseeing and simply sit with your thoughts.
Whether you're attending a service, seeking a moment of calm between activities, or interested in modern religious architecture, Saint Thomas More welcomes visitors. It represents a different kind of Cotswolds experience than the region's older churches and abbeys, and works well as a peaceful interlude during your travels through the area.
