History

The nave and chancel were built around 1125. The tower was added in the 15th century. [2]

Between 1868 and 1871 the vicar, William Wiggin, painted the interior in a recreation of medieval art. [2] There is a suggestion that he did not do the painting himself but used the firm of Clayton and Bell who are more usually associated with stained glass. [3] [4] [5]

The parish is part of the Northleach benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester. [6]

Architecture

The limestone building, with a stone slate roof, consists of a two-bay chancel, a nave, and a west tower. [7] The three-stage tower contains bells by Rudhall of Gloucester. [7] [1]

The north doorway of the nave has a Romanesque tympanum. [8]

The octagonal font is from the late 15th or early 16th century. The organ replaced an earlier one in 1874. [7]
