St Bartholomew's church, Winstone The left jamb of the Saxon-Norman chancel arch is a single stone characteristic of Saxon construction.  Like many in the Cotswolds the church interior was unfortunately scraped of plaster in a Victorian restoration (by Waller & Son of Gloucester).  Their refurnishing is decent but the mortar pointing is harsh.
