Background
History
Withington was the site of a Saxon monastery from 674. A resident priest was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086. The manor and patronage belonged to the Bishop of Worcester who had a summer residence in Withington. It was rebuilt in the 12th century and a blocked Norman doorway with carving remains, and another is used to enter the church. Much of the current building is perpendicular following extensive work in the 15th century when a clerestory was added. The church now claims to be the first zero-carbon church in England. The parish is part of the Coln River benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester.
Architecture
The limestone building has stone slate roofs. It consists of a nave with south porch, chancel and vestry. There is a 15th-century oak bell frame which supported four bells. The font is from the 15th century.
