Orcop is a cosy, peaceful church with a long history, dating back to the 12th century, although many original features were lost in Victorian renovations in the 1860s. The nave and north aisle were built in the 13th century. The tower was built in the 16th century and has an unusual weatherboarded top section.

Finding the church (Grid reference SO 480 275): The church is in a beautiful position with glorious views about a mile or so south of Orcop Hill. From the Fountain Inn go south and after a mile go straight across at the crossroads (taking care as the crossed road has right of way) and follow the road to the church.
