Shorthampton is a hamlet in Chilson civil parish about 2 miles (3 km) west of Charlbury, in Oxfordshire, England. The oldest parts of the Church of England parish church of All Saints are Norman, and a round-headed lancet window from this period survives in the north wall of the nave.[1] The present chancel arch is small and was built in the 13th or 14th century.[1] Most of the current windows are Perpendicular Gothic. All Saints' has box pews that were added in the 18th century and a south porch that was built in the 19th century.[1] All Saints' contains several 15th century wall paintings[1] including a rare one of the "Miracle of the Clay Birds"[2] from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas and another of Saint Zita.[3] All Saints' is a Grade II* listed building.[4] All Saints' is part of the Benefice of Charlbury with Shorthampton. Most church services are now held at the parish church of St Mary the Virgin, Charlbury.[5]
