Background
History
The church was built in the 12th century as a chapel of Great Barrington, and belonged to Llanthony Priory. The south transept was added in the 14th century. A Victorian restoration by Henry Woodyer between 1874 and 1876 included the addition of the organ chamber and a vestry. In 2015 the south doorway was cleaned and given protection against further decay. The parish is part of the Windrush benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester.
Architecture
The limestone building has stone slate roofs. The doorway has two mass dials. The octagonal font was carved in the 15th century and the pulpit is Jacobean.
