St Nicholas’ Church, Saintbury

From the 11th-century to the Arts & Crafts movement

This Medieval church on the Cotswold Way near Broadway in Gloucestershire has a tall and slender spire, which can be seen from all around and is a notable landmark.

The building’s earliest known feature is a sundial considered to be 11th-century. The early finely carved box pews are an 18th-century addition and there is a notable collection of 17th- and 18th-century ledger slabs in the church.

There are some interesting early post-Medieval wallpaintings in the chancel and visitors may also be interested in the Arts and Crafts features that were added in the early 20th-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).
