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

History

The church was built, with a nave and chancel, in the 12th century and the north aisle added in the 13th.[1][2] The tower was built in the late 15th or early 16th century. It underwent Victorian restoration in 1890 and 1891.[3]

The parish is part of the Northleach benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester.[4]

Architecture

The stone building consists of a nave, north aisle, a chancel with a vestry on the north side and a three-stage west tower.[1] The bells in the tower were restored in 1902 in memory of Robert Drysdale who died in the Boer War.[5]

The interior of the porch, chancel arch and arches in the three-bay nave are carved with chevron patterns.[6] There is a 16th-century piscina in the chancel.[7] The octagonal font dates from 1784.[1]

Among the memorials in the church is one to the men of the village who died in World War I.[8] In 2014 a new stained glass window, dedicated to Bishop Michael Mann and known as "Candles of Life", was opened by Princess Anne.[9][3]

In the churchyard is the Waller family tomb,[10] the Wallers having been the local dignitaries for several generations.
