The Anglican Church of St Laurence at Wyck Rissington 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 century, [1] although there had been a previous Saxon church on the site long before and the base of the tower may include part of the fabric of the earlier building. [2] The church was consecrated by the Bishop of Worcester in 1269. [3] [4]
The transepts were added in 1822. [4] It underwent Victorian restoration by John Edward Knight Cutts in 1879. [5] In 1891, Gustav Holst was employed as the organist and choirmaster for the church. [6]
The bells in the tower were rehung in 2012. [7]
The parish of Wyck Rissington is part of a benefice centred on Bourton-on-the-Water within the Diocese of Gloucester. [8]
The limestone building has stone slate roofs. [5] It consists of a nave with a north aisle and porch, a chancel, and a west tower. [3] The chancel still has its original trussed rafter roof. [2] The four-stage tower is supported by buttresses for the first two stages. [3] [4] The eaves are supported by corbel tables. [5]
The interior includes a tub font from around 1200 [4] and an altar table from the 17th. The rest of the fittings are 19th or 20th century. [1] A set of 12 carved wooden plaques depicting the life of Christ are thought to be Flemish and date from the 16th century. [2]
