The Anglican Church of St Andrew at Sevenhampton in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, England, was built in the 12th century. It is a grade I listed building. [1]
The church was built in the 12th and 13th centuries with the tower being added in the 15th. [2] In 1136 the church was given to Llanthony Priory by Robert de Bethune the Bishop of Hereford. [3] [4] The work around 1500 included the insertion of the lantern tower over the Crossing. [5] The church underwent Victorian restoration by Frederick S. Waller in 1892. [1] [4]
The parish of Sevenhampton with Charlton Abbots is part of the Coln River Group benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester. [6] [7]
The cruciform limestone building has a stone slate roof. It consists of the nave with south porch, chancel, north and south transepts and a central tower. The three-stage tower has an octagonal staircase leading to the roof. [1] [3] [4] Within the tower are three bells, the oldest of which dates from the 15th century. [4]
Nine of the church windows have stained glass, the oldest of which is from 1869. [8] There are two fonts, one from the late 17th century and the other Victorian. [3]
Within the church is a memorial tablet listing the names of those from the village who died in World War I. [9] Among the other memorials are several to the Lawrence family of Whittington Court. [3]
