History
The church was built in the 12th century, with the nave being dated to around 1120.[2] The chancel was added in the 13th century with further alterations in subsequent centuries. The tower was also a 13th-century construction but rebuilt in the 15th.
A Victorian restoration was carried out by George Edmund Street around 1858, and most of the internal furnishings date from this time.[1][3]
In 2009 a National Lottery Heritage Fund was received to restore the tower and Victorian paintings.[4]
The parish is part of the South Cotswold Team Ministry benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester.[5]
Architecture
The church has an eight-bay nave, chancel with wagon roof and a three-stage tower supported by diagonal buttresses.[1] The tower is surmounted by pinnacles and parapet.[2] It is supported by buttresses.[6] The tower has six bells, the oldest of which date from 1678.[7]
Inside the church is a plaque commemorating parishioners who died in World War II.[8] Because of limited space the organ was built over and around the tomb of Lord Coleraine.[9][2]
Many of the monuments in the churchyard are also listed.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
