[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]
