The Anglican St Andrew's Church at Cold Aston in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, England, was built in the 12th century. It is a grade I listed building.[1]
The Church of England parish church is a Norman church dedicated to St Andrew. Its walls incorporate Saxon stonework and the original church on this site may have been built in around AD 904.[2] David Verey an expert of local architectural history refers approvingly to the "very good" west tower of three stages and other Perpendicular elements of the church, commenting, "All is evidently the work of the best Cotswold masons, and is the fifteenth-century aggrandizement of a Norman church".[3] Much of the present church was restored in 1875.[2]
