Background
History
The earliest part of the church is Norman but was extended in the 13th century by the addition of the chancel and south aisle. The west gallery and box pews were removed and the church restored between 1902 and 1904 by H.A. Prothero. The parish is part of the Coln River Group benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester.
Architecture
The limestone building has a stone slate roof. It consists of a nave, south transept with porch and chancel. The north wall also has a blocked Norman doorway which has since had a window inserted into it.
