Late C12 nave

Architectural Features

chancel with C15 remodelling, restored (heavily) 1888 by Mark Hookham of Stow-on-the-Wold.

The South wall may have been rebuilt in C15

it retains a C12 eaves string and has a 3-light square head window with rectilinear tracery.

The tympanum is decorated with a diaper of chip-carved crosses, as at Aston Blank and Upper Slaughter, over a larger similar lintel in a surround of chevron on a roll-mould and hollow jambs.

on chancel side the archway is plainer with saltire crosses, the chamfered jambs suggesting a remodelling date of c.1200.

The chancel has a c.1200 string, pointed piscina with broken projecting lip on crude-head corbel and chaumbries.

Panelled (re-used C17?) reredos.

Marble wall monument on N side of chancel to John Payne Font octagonal on heavy stem, possibly C14, moulded lip

Verey suggests that it is C15 and cut back from circular bowl.
