Description

The Parish Church is an Anglican church located on Malmesbury Road in Easton Grey. The west tower dates back to the 15th century, while the rest of the church was built in 1836 and underwent late 19th-century refenestration. The structure is made of coursed rubble with roughcast on the tower and squared dressed stone for the nave and chancel, featuring ashlar buttresses and copings, along with stone slate roofs.

The church comprises a nave, chancel, west tower, and south porch. The three-stage tower includes string courses, a canted stair turret at the southeast corner, and an embattled parapet. The west facade features a two-light Perpendicular window with a pointed head on the first stage, a single opening on the second stage, and a two-light trefoil-headed bell opening with slate louvres. Similar bell openings are present on the north and east faces, while the south face has a single opening. The nave has two Perpendicular style 19th-century two-cusped-light windows with hoodmoulds on the south side and three similar windows on the north side. The east window also has three lights. The chancel features a Tudor-arched south door with a hoodmould. The gabled south porch, dated 1836, has a pointed-arched entrance and two-leaf wooden Gothic gates.

Inside, there is a single chamfered pointed arch leading to the tower and a coved and ribbed Gothick vault in the nave and chancel, both from 1836. Notable fittings include a 13th-century font at the tower arch, which is a cylindrical pillar with a moulded bowl, and box pews from 1836 in the nave. Above the south door is a Royal Coat of Arms from 1818. The south wall features two decalogue boards, while the north wall has Creed and Paternoster boards. A late 17th-century wall monument to Thomas Hodges is located on the nave's north wall, alongside a restored Jacobean pulpit with a tester and an early 19th-century Gothic organ. The chancel contains three fine, albeit rustic, wall monuments from the late 17th to early 18th centuries. The south porch has an I.C.B.S. board from 1836 that records repewing and a benefaction board.
