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

History

The earliest part of the church is Norman but was extended in the 13th century by the addition of the chancel and south aisle.[2][3]

The church was owned by Gloucester Abbey.[3]

The west gallery and box pews were removed and the church restored between 1902 and 1904 by H.A. Prothero.[4][5]

The parish is part of the Coln River Group benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester.[6]

Architecture

The limestone building has a stone slate roof. It consists of a nave, south transept with porch and chancel.[1]

There is a small 13th century bellcote with two pointed bell chambers.[3][5][1]

In the church is a medieval octagonal font and 14th century piscina within a sedilia.[3][5][7] There are fragments of wall paintings on the chancel arch and north wall.[2] The north wall also has a blocked Norman doorway which has since had a window inserted into it.[7]
