St Nicholas' Church

The Anglican parish church of St Nicholas is a Grade I listed building. [2] It was founded in the 12th century and had its chancel rebuilt in the mid-13th century. There were other later medieval alterations and two 19th-century restorations, one minor in 1816, and one major in 1881. [2] Various members of the British Royal Family have been christened at St Nicholas' Church due to its close proximity to Anne, Princess Royal's Gatcombe Park Estate.

Cherington Park

Cherington Park is a Grade II listed building. Earliest records of a manor house in Cherington date back to 1074, owned by Robert D’Oyly, Lord of Wallingford.

In 1740 this manor house was replaced with Cherington Park, as it stands today, by John Neale (MP). [5] Neale died in 1749 passing Cherington to his daughter Frances and her husband, Sir John Turner, 3rd Baronet (MP). By 1766 Turner sold Cherington to Samuel Smith of Smith's Bank and brother of Abel Smith. Cherington was then passed on to Smith's son, Samuel Smith (MP) a director of the East India Company and cousin of Robert Smith, 1st Baron Carrington. The estate was then sold by Smith’s widow, Mary, to John George. [6] George added Coxes Farm and glebe land to the estate, passing it to his son, William, in 1824. William George inherited Westrip Farm and Hazleton Farm from his uncle, also William, in 1832. Over the course of the George family's ownership Cherington Park was greatly enlarged by the addition of three service ranges around a courtyard [7] . William George left the Cherington Estate to his two grandchildren, Constance and Gertrude who, in 1934, sold it to Edward Tarlton [8] , of Bird & Co. a jute, railroad and mining company, now Ministry of Steel India.

John Tame of Cirencester and of Beauchamp Court in the parish of Fairford, both in Gloucestershire, England, was a wealthy wool producer and merchant who re-built the surviving St. Mary's Church, Fairford, the former structure of which had been built by one of the Beauchamp Earls of Warwick in the 15th century. The 28 Fairford stained glass windows he installed in the church are considered amongst the finest and most complete in England. He and his son Sir Edmund Tame (d.1534) so fostered the trade transacted at Fairford, that it came to rival that of the nearby long-established town of Cirencester, which increase was remarked upon by his contemporary the antiquary John Leland (d.1552): "Fairford never flourished afore the cumming of the Tames into it".
