UKAEA helps support Harwell Church Tower Appeal
St Matthew’s Church is a Grade 1 listed building dating from 1190 and sits in the small community village of Harwell in the South Oxfordshire countryside. The main tower constructed around 1200 survives today only because of the care that it has been given by the Harwell community over the centuries. From the top of the tower, on a clear day, you can see in the distance the spires of the City of Oxford.
