This 13th-century church features a striking tower with a distinctive saddleback roof, adorned with a weathercock and a clock face. The exterior walls are constructed from local limestone, with buttresses and pointed arch windows adding to the building's charm. Inside, visitors can admire the medieval interior, complete with a vaulted ceiling, ornate stone carvings, and stunning stained-glass windows. The church's tranquil atmosphere and historic significance make it a must-visit for those interested in architecture, history, and spirituality.
Described as "a building of stone in the Norman and later styles, consisting of chancel, nave, transepts, north porch and a tower with a spire." The east window retains some ancient stained glass, representing St Nicholas. It was restored 1907-1913.
Visited with friends from New Zealand who were searching for the grave of someone whose remains had been returned to the UK for internment. Helpful advice from a local who 'jogged by' directed us to a newer churchyard across the road. Success!
This medieval church on the Cotswold Way near Broadway in Gloucestershire has a tall and slender spire that can be seen from all around and is a notable landmark. The building's earliest known feature is a sundial considered to date back to the eleventh century. The church can be seen from some way off and signs do point you in the right direction, leading to a tight but quiet cul de sac off the beaten track. Imposing architectural building with pretty cotswold countryside on all sides. Although not an active parish church is available for public viewings and well worth a visit if in the vicinity.
Fascinating medieval wall paintings plus Arts and Crafts features that were added in the early twentieth century, including the chancel and north chapel ceilings; the north chapel screen (c 1904 by Ernest Gimson); the north chapel reredos (c 1920 by Alec Miller) and the Chancel chandelier (1911 by Charles Ashbee).
Church in fantastic location. Church no longer used regularly and only open by prior arrangement. Beautiful views over Vale of Evesham.
