Background
History
Most of the fabric of the church dates back to the 13th century, and the chancel was extended in the following century. The church closed in 1973. The single bell dates from the late 15th century, and is attributed to Robert Hendley of Gloucester.
Architecture
The church is constructed mainly in rubble with ashlar dressings, the north aisle is in lias, and the roofs are tiled. The plan consists of a nave with a north aisle and a south porch, a chancel that is longer and has a lower roof than the nave, and a west tower. The tower is in three stages, with diagonal buttresses, and an embattled parapet with crocketted pinnacles. In the top stage are double louvred bell openings, beneath which are lancet windows.
