GV II*
Parish church. C14 tower; remainder of church rebuilt 1854 by Henry Crisp of Bristol; chancel aisles and vestry added 1884. Coursed and squared limestone; stone slate roof. Nave and chancel with aisles; west tower, north porch and south vestry. Round arched C12 style north doorway is said to be copy of original; porch with pointed arch and diagonal offset buttresses. Five- window fenestration to lean-to aisles, all Perpendicular traceried in offset buttressed walls (north doorway replacing 1 window on north side, projecting gabled vestry with large Perpendicular window replacing 1 window on south side at east end). Three-stage tower with diagonal west buttresses appears rather squat due to high roof of rebuilt church. Moulded pointed arched west doorway with Perpendicular traceried window above. Belfry is possibly later C15 with 2-light openings having timber louvres below quatrefoil tracery. Crenellated parapet to tower and higher square stair turret on north side. Moulded string course to tower linking animal gargoyles. Short chancel has east window with curvilinear tracery. Interior: spacious with 5-bay aisle arcades. Tower arch obscured by large west organ loft supported on iron columns; traceried timber tower screen below. High pointed chancel arch flanked by lower 4-centred aisle arches. High cambered tie beams to nave roof with short king posts and quatrefoil spandrel filling. East window has matching recessed flanking panels. Various C19 church furnishings, all original. Earliest memorials in tower: panel flanked by scrolls is to Mary ye Wife of Thomas Smyth, died 1675; and oval memorial with wreathed border and escutcheons to Anselm Fowler of Moore Hall, died 1704. Various C19 memorials in south aisle. Stained glass to east window by Wailes of Newcastle. (N.M.Herbert, 'Stonehouse' in V.C.H. Glos x, 1972, pp.267-289; and D.
