Archaeology
The parish of Frilford has two significant archaeological sites: a Roman villa, and a cemetery on Frilford Heath that appears to include both Roman and Saxon burials.[2] A further complex of remains, including a Roman shrine and amphitheatre, is often referred to as being in Frilford but lies to the south of the village, just inside the boundary of Marcham parish.
Churches
Frilford is part of the Church of England parish of Marcham. It has no Church of England parish church of its own, but a Congregational chapel was built at Frilford in 1841.[3]
Amenities
Frilford Heath Golf Club is to the east of the village.
Abingdon Preparatory School at Frilford, formerly Joscas, is a preparatory school.
