Background
History
The first church in Bibury was established in 899. The Anglo-Saxon church was built in the middle to late 11th century with further work in subsequent centuries.
Architecture
The limestone building has a stone slate roof. It consists of a nave with north and south aisles and a clerestory, chancel and a south porch. The tower arises from the north west corner, supported by buttresses and contains a 15th-century belfry. Four similar Saxon slabs were given to the British Museum. The interior furnishings include a 13th-century font and memorials from several centuries. Unusually the font is square, with the sides carved with arches.
