The church dates from the 1450s and today, more than 500 years later, its external appearance remains very much as it was then.
Its imposing 90ft tower is built in perpendicular style and look out for the 40 stone ‘grotesques’ – scary and ugly stone faces that adorn the building. Half of the grotesques represent demons, the rest are possibly caricatures based on town and Winchcombe Abbey dignitaries from the 15th century.
