Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox church The Anglican Church of St George at Hampnett in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, England was built in 12th century. It is a grade I listed building.[1]

History

The nave and chancel were built around 1125. The tower was added in the 15th century.[2]

Between 1868 and 1871 the vicar, William Wiggin, painted the interior in a recreation of medieval art.[2] There is a suggestion that he did not do the painting himself but used the firm of Clayton and Bell who are more usually associated with stained glass.[3][4][5]

The parish is part of the Northleach benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester.[6]

Architecture

The limestone building, with a stone slate roof, consists of a two-bay chancel, a nave, and a west tower.[7] The three-stage tower contains bells by Rudhall of Gloucester.[7][1]

The north doorway of the nave has a Romanesque tympanum.[8]

The octagonal font is from the late 15th or early 16th century. The organ replaced an earlier one in 1874.[7]
