We are a small congregation in the united parish of Coln St Aldwyns, Hatherop & Quenington, enjoying a mixture of traditional worship and occasional lively family services. We are one of the "CHEQS" churches in the South Cotswold Team Ministry.
The church building was rebuilt in 1854/5 under the architect Henry Clutton with the assistance of the famous art-architect William Burgess. The mortuary chapel is a magnificent example of Burgess' early work and his influence is everywhere especially in the carved stone animals and angels. The rebuilding was funded by Lord de Mauley. The church stands on the site of an older mediæval bulding, whose nave roof it retains.
The church is used regularly by the two schools in our village (Hatherop Primary School & Hatherop Castle School). During term-time the Castle School holds a simple service in the church on Monday and Tuesday mornings.
