Background
History
The site of a church since the 7th century, and may have been the site of a Saxon monastery. The current building was designed by Francis Hiorne and opened in 1781 replacing a medieval structure which was demolished in 1777. The building cost was £5,059. 12s. 0d. The 14th-century tower and spire of the previous building were retained until it was rebuilt in 1891 using the same stones.
Architecture
The Gothic Revival stone building has a hipped slate and Cotswold stone roof with an embattled parapet. It is a seven-bay hall church with nave, chancel and aisles. It contains a ring of eight bells most of which were cast in 1722 and all were made by Rudhall of Gloucester. The church has some box pews which are accessed from a passageway around the church rather than the central aisle. Within the church is a roll of honour commemorating those from the parish who served in World War I. There are some effigies in the north aisle passage which were transferred from the earlier building.
