The Anglican Church of St Bartholomew at Winstone in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, England was built in the 11th century. It is a grade I listed building.[1]

History

The nave was built in the 11th century with the south porch being added in the 14th and the tower in the 15th.[1][2]

In 1876 the church underwent Victorian restoration by Frederick S. Waller and further restoration was carried out in the 1950s and 1960s.[3][4]

The parish is part of a benefice centred on Brimpsfield within the Diocese of Gloucester.[5]

Architecture

The limestone building has a stone slate roof.[1] It consists of a nave, chancel, south porch and a north vestry. The two-stage saddleback west tower has six bells including one dating from 1320.[1][3][6][7]

An Anglo-Saxon door, with a tympanum over it, is now blocked up.[8]

Inside the church is a 15th-century octagonal font.[2]
