Church of St Leonard, Stowell Park

The church was built in the 12th century and revised in the 13th and 17th centuries.^[2] In the 12th century it was a chapel to Northleach church.^[3]

In 1803 the church was described as "ruinous" but some restoration was done before its reopening in 1810. More extensive Victorian restoration was undertaken by C. Hodgson Fowler in the 1890s.^[3]

The parish of Yanworth with Stowell is part of a benefice centred on Chedworth within the Diocese of Gloucester.^[4]

The limestone building has a stone slate roof. It has a cruciform plan with a nave, transepts and a chancel. There was previously a central tower but this collapsed and has now been re-roofed.^[1]

There are some remaining wall paintings, but some of these were lost in the 1890s restoration.^[3] Those in the nave date from 1150 to 1200 while those in the transept were painted in the late 12th or early 13th century.^[1][5] The scenes depicted include the last supper.^[6]

The plain font is from the 13th century.^[5]
