Church of St Peter and St Paul

The first mention of the church in Northleach dates from around 1100, but from the end of the 14th century, the church was almost completely rebuilt in perpendicular Gothic style. The west tower was built around 1380-1400, and the baptismal font also dates from the end of the 14th century. The present nave and the south porch were built in the first half of the 15th century, as was the pulpit. The church was restored in 1877-84 according to the plans of the neo-Gothic architect James Brooks.

St John the Baptist

St John's began life as a Norman church, of which the central tower and west wall, with its typical Norman door, remain. After this, its story is one of continual additions and ‘improvements' over the centuries, which makes the history of the building fascinating although quite difficult to read.

St Faith

The body of this beautiful little chapel is Saxon and fairly early Norman, though the round Saxon apse was destroyed in the early 19th century.
