north aisle are in the Transitional style between Norman architecture and Early English Gothic. The chancel was rebuilt in the 13th century in the Early English Gothic style. The west window of the north aisle is in the early Decorated Gothic style of the late 13th century. There is another Decorated Gothic window on the south side of the nave. In about 1350 the north transept was remodelled and its roof height increased above that of the nave. After this the remaining windows were added in the Perpendicular Gothic style. The west tower was built in the 15th century. The church was restored in 1885, and the chancel arch was probably rebuilt at this time. The church is a Grade II* listed building. The tower has a ring of six bells. The Wokingham foundry cast the fifth and tenor bells in about 1499. John Taylor & Co cast the fourth bell in 1859, presumably at the foundry they then had in Oxford. Whitechapel Bell Foundry cast the treble, second and third bells in 2005. St Nicholas' also has a Sanctus bell, which was cast in 1640 by James Keene, who had foundries at Woodstock and Bedford. St Nicholas' parish is now a member of the Benefice of Burford, Fulbrook, Taynton, Asthall, Swinbrook and Widford. Asthall Hoard In the summer of 2007 a hoard of 110 gold angel and half-angel coins was found during building work at Asthall. The coins were minted at dates from 1470 to 1526, most of them in the brief second reign of Henry VI (1470–71) or the reign of Richard III (1483–85). The hoard is believed to have been buried in the latter half of the reign of Henry VIII (1509–47). In April 2010 a coroner found the hoard to be treasure as defined by the Treasure Act 1996, and in August the Treasure Valuation Committee valued it at £280,000. The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford acquired the hoard in December 2010, and put the coins on display from March 2011. Asthall Manor House Asthall Manor House is an H-shaped house built in about 1620 for Sir William Jones. In 1810 the 1st Baron Redesdale (of the first creation) bought the house, which then remained in his family until 1926. In 1916 the architect Charles Bateman altered and enlarged the house for the 2nd Baron Redesdale (of the second creation). Lord Redesdale's daughters were the six Mitford
