The parish is part of the Chedworth Yanworth and Stowell benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester. [2]

Architecture

The limestone building consists of a five-bay nave, two-bay chancel and seven-bay north aisle and west tower. [1] The fourth stage of the tower was added in the 15th century. [1] The corbels supporting the roof are carved to represent St Andrew and Henry VII and his wife Elizabeth of York who may have visited the church in 1491. [3]

The font dates from the 12th century and the piscina from the 13th. [1] Inside the church is a plaque commemorating those from the village who died in World War I and World War II. [4] Some of the stained glass from the 15th century remains in chancel windows. [1]
