Lovely oasis of tranquility

A quiet and seemingly unassuming church set in rural Oxfordshire, and just a stone?s throw from Blenheim Palace. As quintessential as the church is, I dare say it?s a burial in the churchyard that draws people to this parish church. Found within a family plot in Britain?s wartime leader, Sir Winston Churchill.Inside the church there is a little information about the churchyard?s famous burial. There is also a wonderful stained glass window, unveiled in 2015, to mark the 50th anniversary of Churchill?s death.If visiting, do bear in mind that this is a parish church, not an attraction.

Haven't been to a service, but I visited during the week. It's a nice and peaceful place to ponder about Jesus Christ and His atonement

Didn't go into the church. Only look at churchill and family's gravestones which we'll manage unlike the others in the graveyard

The allure of Bladon lies in its quiet tranquillity and unassuming yet profound historical significance. Here, you'll find St. Martin's Church, an epitome of quaint English charm, and the final resting place of Sir Winston Churchill, one of the most prominent figures of the 20th century.St. Martin's Church, although small, is beautifully preserved and filled with noteworthy historical artefacts. It embodies a sense of timelessness, providing visitors with a sense of calm and reflection, away from the bustle of city life. The stained glass windows, aged stone, and architectural details tell their own stories, offering a rich tapestry of local history.Perhaps the most iconic part of St. Martin's Church is Churchill's grave, a humble and surprisingly understated spot that many find deeply moving. The grave, maintained immaculately, is a fitting tribute to a man of immense influence, yet it also serves as a poignant reminder of his connection to the local community and his desire for simplicity in his final rest.However, the absence of more interactive or information-rich displays could be a drawback for those seeking a deeper understanding of the site's history. Therefore, if you plan a visit, it might be useful to do a bit of reading beforehand to fully appreciate the historical context.The allure of this location lies not in grand structures or flashy exhibits, but in its ability to offer peace, reflection, and connection with history in a beautifully understated manner. A visit to St. Martin's Church and Churchill's Grave is indeed a step back in time and an opportunity to pay respects to a man who played an integral part in shaping the world as we know it.Despite its humble size and appearance, this site resonates with the echo of the past and is worth a visit for those who appreciate history presented in its most authentic, unvarnished form.

Wanted to visit the burial place of Winston Churchill for a long time, and while in Oxfordshire, I took the time to visit the lovely village of Bladon to visit St Martins Church.The Church has lots of information about Winston Churchill and other information about his family. The Church is very well kept as is the graveyard.The church access is not easy, and parking is limited, but it's well worth the perseverance.

The last resting place of Winston Churchill, the greatest British prime minister ever , a wonderful little church,My son attended a v.e day memorial, and the Lancaster bomber did a fly past and salute. In honour to Winston Churchill, well worth a visit

Very intimate and friendly church. We were visiting Blenheim and came by to see the famous Churchill graves and ended up joining a Sunday service just towards the end. The local congregation are a fantastic and welcoming bunch. We were impressed by the choir and particularly touched by the gentleman who ran over with the service sheet and hymn book for us. More people would probably go to church if all churches were like this one.

Such a beautiful place with historic importance as Sir Wiston Churchill's resting place. I had goosebumps while the visit. ?Really worth the visit.

Beautiful little church, I visited after a trip to Blenheim to complete my Winston full circle and what a humble end for one of our greatest Britons. Churchyard is well maintained and one of the few churches open without a soul in sight. Some lovely little keepsakes available inside as well for a reasonable price.

Came here to see the grave of Winston Churchill. Easy to find the grave. Church is in a little village just outside of Oxford.

Beautiful English church, limited parking so might be best to park away and walk in.
