Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox church The Anglican Church of St Peter at Windrush 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 in the 12th century as a chapel of Great Barrington, and belonged to Llanthony Priory.[2] The south transept was added in the 14th century.[3]

A Victorian restoration by Henry Woodyer between 1874 and 1876 included the addition of the organ chamber and a vestry.[4][2][1][5]

In 2015 the south doorway was cleaned and given protection against further decay.[6]

The parish is part of the Windrush benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester.[7]

Architecture

The limestone building has stone slate roofs.[1] It consists of a three-bay nave with a south aisle and transept, a chancel with a vestry and an organ chamber.[8][1]

The three-stage tower has six bells, five of them date from 1707 and were cast by Rudhall of Gloucester.[3][9][10][1]

The surround of the south doorway is Norman with a double row of "beakheads" each slightly different and representing demons and a saw-tooth pattern decoration on the outside.[2][11][12] The doorway has two mass dials.[13][3]

The octagonal font was carved in the 15th century and the pulpit is Jacobean.[2][8][13][3]
