The Anglican Church of St Nicholas at Saintbury in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, England, was built in the 13th century. It is a grade I listed building.[1]
Parts of the current building, including the nave, north transept and tower, date from the 13th century but some aspects, such as the Norman south door with tympanum, provide evidence of an earlier church on the site.[2][1] The north door is also Norman and above it is a circular Anglo-Saxon tide dial.[2][3] The chancel was added in the 14th century.[1]
The last service was held in the church in 2009 and it is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[4][5] The lead from the roof was stolen in 2017.[4]
