GV II*
C13, rebuilt c.1500, tower C15; restored 1878 and re-floored and repaired 1899. Built in Cotswold stone, with ashlar tower; Cotswold stone roof. Plan: west tower, 5 bay nave with shorter north aisle and short south porch dated 1878; 2 bay chancel with C19 vestry to NE. Three stage tower with diagonal buttresses to 1st two and corner piers to upper stage; crenellated parapet with corner pin- nacles; corner gargoyles and curved head stops to Perp belfry window labels; 2 painted sundials at SW corner, one dated 1748, the other inscribed 'Lux Umbra Dei'. On south side square head windows of 3 Tudor arch lights, one to west of Tudor-arch priest's door, blocked with reused probably earlier material. East window restored in 1878 in Perpendicular style. North aisle of 2 wide bays: Tudor arch west window with crude headstops and simple 3-light glazing; east win- dow on north wall a good example of provincial flat-headed Perp tracery with cus- ping and sub-lights and with diagonal stops to label. The Church is entered by a tall Tudor arch south doorway. The interior is stripped; the main feature is the wide span of the 2 bay north arcade with a hollow-chamfere pier. No chancel arch; arch-braced 7 bay roof, possibly C17, the north aisle roof C19; tall moulded tower arch, with C19 octagonal font in Perpendicular style below it. C15 or early C16 pulpit, octagonal with tracery resembling east window on north side of aisle. Cross on west wall of nave believed to be Anglo-Saxon. The floor tiling (1899) is especially rich in the sanctuary. Wall monument on north side of chancel to Ambrose Oldys, died 1720, with reference to his father killed by the 'rebels' (Parliamentarians): a grey marble aedicule with broken segmental pediment and central tablet flanked by morning cherubs. Three C16 brass tomb plaques.
