- Saintbury, Gloucestershire (St Nicholas' Church)
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-centuries 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).

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
