Notable buildings

Sarsden House is a country house, rebuilt in 1689 after it was damaged by fire. In 1795 Humphry Repton landscaped the park, adding a serpentine lake and a Doric temple. In about 1825 Repton's son, the architect G.S. Repton, remodelled the house for James Langston.^[2] The house is a Grade II* listed building.^[3] The Church of England parish church of Saint James was rebuilt in 1760. GS Repton added a cruciform extension to the east in 1823. In 1896 the architect Walter Mills of Banbury remodelled the north transept and added the bellcote.^[4] Sarsgrove House, or the Dower House, is 1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) northeast of Sarsden. G.S. Repton remodelled it as a large cottage orné in 1825.^[5]
