The Anglican Church of St Andrew at Chedworth in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, England was built in the late 12th century. It is a grade I listed building.[1]
Church
History
The original 12th century building was rebuilt in the 13th and 15th centuries. The north aisle was rebuilt in 1883.[1]
The parish is part of the Chedworth Yanworth and Stowell benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester.[2]
Architecture
The limestone building consists of a five-bay nave, two-bay chancel and seven-bay north aisle and west tower.[1] The fourth stage of the tower was added in the 15th century.[1] The corbels supporting the roof are carved to represent St Andrew and Henry VII and his wife Elizabeth of York who may have visited the church in 1491.[3]
The font dates from the 12th century and the piscina from the 13th.[1] Inside the church is a plaque commemorating those from the village who died in World War I and World War II.[4] Some of the stained glass from the 15th century remains in chancel windows.[1]
