The Church of England parish church of Saint Peter is Grade I listed.
It has some twelfth-century parts and a turret with two medieval chiming bells.
Noteworthy is the tympanum of the church, with a Romanesque relief depicting the ascension of Alexander the Great to the sky, a legendary episode from a version of the so called Pseudo-Callisthenes (the Alexander Romance).

Along with the churches of Longworth, Hinton Waldrist, Lyford, Buckland, Pusey and Littleworth, it is part of the Benefice of Cherbury with Gainfield.

On the village green is a medieval stone pillar mounted upon three steps.
This may have been a market cross where goods could be offered for sale at certain times of the year.
 A sundial was later added to the top and this would have been used as the village time-piece.
After the First World War the centre step was replaced with a dressed stone memorial to the fallen, whose names are inscribed thereon.

Charney Manor is a Grade I listed building.
It was built in the thirteenth century as a grange for Abingdon Abbey, which then owned extensive land around the village.
It is now owned by the Quakers.

Charney Water Mill and its adjoining cottage are Grade II listed.
The mill is owned by Oxfordshire County Council and leased to the parish council.
The machinery is mainly intact and the mill has been undergoing restoration by the Vale of White Horse Industrial Archaeology Group since about 1975.

The parish has 18 other Grade II listed buildings.
