Church (dedication unknown)

The church, of unknown dedication, stands in Stanway, Hailes. Its origins lie in the 12th century, with substantial additions and alterations made in the 14th, 15th, and 17th centuries. A restoration took place in the 19th century, and further work was undertaken in 1905 by H. Andrews, as indicated by a datestone. The church is constructed of random rubble with ashlar dressings, an ashlar porch, a timber-framed belfry, and a stone slate roof. The building comprises a nave, chancel, and a south porch.

The south facade features a trefoil-headed lancet window on the left, and a single-storey gabled porch with a plinth, angled buttresses, and a wrought-iron gate within an arched opening. A datestone sits above the arched opening which contains a boarded door leading to the nave. To the right of the porch is a matching trefoil-headed lancet. The parapet gables are topped with a square bellcote at the west end, featuring three louvred lights on each face and a pyramid roof. An arched stone opening with a gabled top, accommodating a sanctus bell, is positioned on the east gable.

The chancel is the same width as the nave but slightly lower in height, and contains a lancet window with a cinquefoil head and a trefoil above. To the right is a wide ashlar buttress and a boarded door under a three-centred arch, with a similar-width lancet window above. A pilaster buttress supports the gable and a base of a cross is present at the apex. The east end is defined by a 3-light reticulated-tracery window, with a small quatrefoil above. The north side mirrors the south, with two chancel windows, a lancet to the nave with a trefoil head and iron opening light, a blocked doorway with a trefoil head, and a roof similar to the south. Paired lancet windows are present on the west wall.

Inside, the church retains medieval tiles and memorial slabs on the floors and the walls are plastered. The nave features semi-circular responds to the chancel arch, with scalloped capitals and a large roll to the soffit of the pointed arch. A medieval chancel screen, with three lights on each side of the doorway, and tracery heads, is also present, along with a vine scroll pattern on the beam and a short return on the right against a respond. A painting of St Christopher is on the north wall, and a hunting scene depicted on the south wall. The roof is comprised of 3 1/2 bay sections with crown post trusses, post bracing to the tie beam and collar purlin, and exposed collar rafters. The chancel retains the base of a rood loft stair, trefoil-headed recesses on either side of the priest's door, a double piscina, and an aumbry. Floriate cross slabs are set in the floor alongside the communion table, alongside dado panelling. "L"-plan pews, dating from the 17th century, are positioned against the screen, reflecting a Puritan chancel arrangement.

Significant 14th-century wall paintings are present; the north side features a square grid of coats of arms, a saint in a window recess, mythical animals above the windows, and figures above the wallplate, all painted across infill and ashlar pieces. The south side displays a similar scheme but with a diagonal grid pattern featuring lions and eagles. Traces of further painting are on the west wall of the chancel and the north side of the arch. The chancel roof boasts a moulded wallplate and a facetted plaster ceiling. A square, panelled pulpit with an octagonal sounding board is also a distinctive feature. The pews include those likely from the 16th century, with plain ends, moulded tops and front edges, and a panelled box pew at the rear of the nave with fluted sides and cockshead hinges. A plain octagonal stone font and an early 19th-century wall monument are also present. The porch was added in 1905, and the interior shows little alteration from its 17th-century form.
