History

Although the King’s Commissioners visited the Sibfords in 1547 and reported “an ancient church which had fallen into decay”, no site or remains have been found. Until 1840 and the consecration of this “new” church, the Sibfords were part of the ecclesiastical parish of Swalcliffe (one and a half miles east of Sibford) and services, including burial, took place there. Holy Trinity is unusual among the churches of north Oxfordshire in that it does not have a tower.

The church was erected by grant and public subscription to provide 500 seatings, 340 of which were free forever. The design was by H.J. Underwood of Oxford, and the land was donated by Rev William Wilkes in 1839.

The church was consecrated in 1840, probably on 15 June, Trinity Sunday. A history of the church was written by Maureen and Keith Hicks to mark its 175th anniversary in 2015.
