Contents
Manor
South Weston is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 and the Hundred Rolls of 1279.[1] Both then and later in the Middle Ages, the parish's farming interests overlapped with those of neighbouring Wheatfield.[1]
Parish church
The current Church of England parish church of Saint Lawrence was designed by the Gothic Revival architect R.C. Hussey and built in 1860.[2] It is in a Decorated Gothic style[2] and incorporates some elements of the previous Norman church. The font is 13th century,[2] and there is a 14th-century tomb recess in the north wall of the chancel.[2] Over the east window, on the outside is a statue of Saint Lawrence.[2]
The armchairs in the church were given by the Reynardson family of Adwell.[citation needed] The church was renovated in 1988 to make it more suitable for holding services.[citation needed] Until the mid 19th century the church had strong links with The Queen's College, Oxford.
Salisbury Lodge
In South Weston a non-conformist chapel and a public house were built in about 1600.[citation needed] The pub was called The Salisbury Arms. After the chapel became unused, the chapel was converted into a barn for the use of the pub owners. The pub was converted into a house in 1982 and is now called Salisbury Lodge.
