The Anglican Church of St Lawrence at Mickleton in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, England was built in the 12th century. It is a grade I listed building. [1]
There is some evidence of a church in Mickleton by 960 but the current building was started in the 12th century. [2] The nave was extended in the 13th or 14th century and in the 14th century the tower was added. [1] A Victorian restoration was carried out by Frederick Preedy in 1868. [3]
The parish is part of the Vale and Cotswold Edge benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester. [4]
The stone building has a tiled roof.
The tower has eight bells the oldest of which date from 1668. [5] [6] An attempt has been made to date the bellframe using tree-ring analysis however this was inconclusive. [7] They were rehung in 1954 in an iron frame. [3]
