Background

History

The church was built in 1848 as a chapel of ease in the parish of St Mary the Virgin's Church, Tetbury. At that time the richer people paid a fee for the use of a pew in St Mary's (a pew rent). St Saviour's was built for the poorer people who could not afford this charge, and it came to be described as "a little church for the poor".

Architecture

Inside the church the nave is separated from the aisles by arcades of four bays supported on alternate round and octagonal piers. All the fittings date from the time of the building of the church. These include the pews with poppyhead ends, the stone font, the stone pulpit, and the wooden chancel screen. The organ formerly in the church has been removed.
