# St Peter, Little Barrington

St Peter's is a Grade I parish church on Middle Road, Little Barrington, in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, in the Diocese of Gloucester and the Windrush Benefice.

## Overview

Historic England records an Anglican parish church of the late twelfth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, of coursed squared and dressed limestone under a stone-slate roof. The plan is a nave with projecting south porch, a north aisle, a tower at the west end of the north aisle, and a chancel at the east end of the nave. The nave was largely rebuilt in the fourteenth century. The south doorway is a late-twelfth-century round-headed archway with keeled jamb shafts, stiff-leaf capitals, and outer arches deeply cut with chevron and lozenge ornament; the hoodmould has dogtooth decoration. The north arcade has pointed arches on cylindrical piers with scalloped capitals. Early wagon roofs survive in the nave and chancel.

Fixtures include a fifteenth-century octagonal limestone font and an early-eighteenth-century communion table. Wikipedia and the Victoria County History note that the church was a dependent chapel of Great Barrington and that both churches belonged to Llanthony Priory. Britain Express highlights Georgian wall paintings and a canopied Tayler family memorial built into the south porch. The Church Heritage Record names the parish Little Barrington. The benefice site states that the church is always open.
