Find a church

In the heart of the village where King John built his castle and PG Wodehouse’s aunt was the Vicar’s wife, stands the Norman church of St Mary.

Early English architecture with a window to Ralph Vaughan Williams who was born in the village and wrote the hymn tune Down Ampney.

St Mary's looks like two, or even three, churches magicked together, with its rather grand chancel and an exceptional east window that is often cited as an example of Decorated window tracery at its finest.

Acton Green St Peter

The village, but not the church, is mentioned in Domesday Book.

The sturdy 14th century Perpendicular west tower of St John's marks the highest church in the Cotswolds.

Outstanding architectural and historic interest, which has been on this site in some form since the 12th century, replacing a wooden Saxon chapel.

With an imposing 13th and 14th century tower topped by a stone spire and corner pinnacles, Tilney's church stands out in its Marshland setting.
