The Church of St Giles, Maisemore
The
earlier parts of the Churchyard lay to the south and south-west of the Church,
but in the C20th there were two extensions. Near
the South Porch stand the steps and base of a C14th Cross, and nearby the Garden
of Remembrance established in the 1960's. At the south-east corner of the
Churchyard stands the village's As noted earlier, the interior of the church is largely Victorian, with many typical stained glass windows of the period. Maisemore Local History Society has recently carried out a Survey of memorials in the Churchyard. Please refer to the their Churchyard Survey page for further details. There used to be a link to a site describing the bells - but it's not working. If someone knows if it's elsewhere please contact us.

A
Church has stood here since the C12th, but nothing remains of the original
building, which was re-built in the C15th. From this later period only the
tower, the south porch and the nave south-wall remain; the rest was re-built in
the C19th.
The first - about 1910 - covered the
west and north-west sides. And a further area, outside the north perimeter wall,
was consecrated in 1998 but is not yet in use.
