Church Of St Felix

The Church of St Felix is a parish church dating to the 14th and 15th centuries, with a restoration in 1867. It is constructed of slatestone rubble walls with granite quoins, and has scantle slate roofs with gable ends. It consists of a nave, a chancel under a single roof, a west tower, a north transept, and a south aisle with a south porch.

The west tower is of two stages with corner buttresses to the north and south, separating the stages. It has small, flat-headed windows just above the string course on the north and south sides. There are two-light, arch-headed windows above and to the west and east, all with slate louvres. A further string course sits below a simple battlemented parapet. The west side features a moulded, pointed granite doorway with a relieving arch, above which is a two-light window also with a relieving arch. The north wall of the nave has two 19th-century, three-light Perpendicular style windows. The north transept has a 19th-century, three-light window in the gable end, and retains late 15th and early 16th century granite and freestone windows with three cinquefoil lights and hood moulds to the west and east walls. An ovolo moulded, pointed arched elvan doorway, with scrolled stops to the hoodmould, is situated to the left of the east wall. A four-light window is set into the east gable end of the chancel. All the south aisle windows are 19th-century freestone in Perpendicular style, along with the west and east gable ends, one window to the left of the south porch, and five to the right. The porch has a 19th-century pointed freestone doorway with stiff leaf label stops, and a 15th-century granite, moulded, round-headed inner doorway.

Inside, the church has 19th-century arch-braced collar roofs with cavetto cornices, enriched with ballflowers and rosettes. A 15th-century granite arcade with nine bays separates the nave and chancel from the south aisle, featuring round piers with four engaged shafts. The fittings include a 13th-century octagonal elvan font with two blind pointed arches to each side over a 19th-century octagonal base, and 19th-century pews with scroll-shaped ends. There is also an arcaded brattished screen between the nave and transept, tiled flooring to the aisles, glazed tiles to the chancel, a painted coat of arms of George II (dated 1635), copies of letters from Charles I sent from Sudeley Castle camp (1643), and the Ten Commandments painted on two panels flanking the south door.
