A Grade I listed church on the Macmillan Way footpath through the Cotswolds. In a rural setting adjacent to Doomsday Book listed house, Luckington Court.

The church has a 12th century nave and 13th century tower. Features inside include a large Norman font, ancient pulpit, wall painting of text of Lords Prayer and Commandments (1663), stained glass (Kempe) and Blomfield designed chancel.

One of the 4 bells is one of the nation's oldest (1520).

The church was inspiration for the Harwood hymn tune for 'Let all the world'. It was used for the double wedding scene at the end of the much loved 1995 BBC adaptation of Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice staring both Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.
