The parish church of St Gregory in the aptly named Offchurch in Warwickshire dates from the 12th century. It probably replaced a Saxon church which may have been built during the reign of King Offa of Mercia in the late eighth century. No trace of the Saxon church remains though the local legend has it that if you jump off the roof of the church then King Offa will rise out of the ground and catch you. I have not tested this.
The church has a west tower, north vestry, chancel and a nave with a south porch. The church is built from local red sandstone and grey ashlar. Much of the church is Norman including the nave and chancel.
