Church of St Oswald, Shipton Oliffe

The earliest part of the church is Norman but was extended in the 13th century by the addition of the chancel and south aisle.^[2][3]

The church was owned by Gloucester Abbey.^[3]

The west gallery and box pews were removed and the church restored between 1902 and 1904 by H.A. Prothero.^[4][5]

The parish is part of the Coln River Group benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester.^[6]

The limestone building has a stone slate roof. It consists of a nave, south transept with porch and chancel.^[1]

There is a small 13th century bellcote with two pointed bell chambers.^[3][5][1]

In the church is a medieval octagonal font and 14th century piscina within a sedilia.^[3][5][7] There are fragments of wall paintings on the chancel arch and north wall.^[2] The north wall also has a blocked Norman doorway which has since had a window inserted into it.^[7]
