The Anglican Church of St Peter at Farmington 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, with a nave and chancel, in the 12th century and the north aisle added in the 13th. [1] [2] The tower was built in the late 15th or early 16th century. It underwent Victorian restoration in 1890 and 1891. [3]
The parish is part of the Northleach benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester. [4]
The stone building consists of a nave, north aisle, a chancel with a vestry on the north side and a three-stage west tower. [1] The bells in the tower were restored in 1902 in memory of Robert Drysdale who died in the Boer War. [5]
The interior of the porch, chancel arch and arches in the three-bay nave are carved with chevron patterns. [6] There is a 16th-century piscina in the chancel. [7] The octagonal font dates from 1784. [1]
Among the memorials in the church is one to the men of the village who died in World War I. [8] In 2014 a new stained glass window, dedicated to Bishop Michael Mann and known as "Candles of Life", was opened by Princess Anne. [9] [3]
In the churchyard is the Waller family tomb, [10] the Wallers having been the local dignitaries for several generations.
