Remains of St Peter's, Frocester St Peter's, Frocester, which is located a mile from the village it served was rebuilt in 1849, after centuries of neglect, to the designs of Francis Niblett. The new church reused much of the stonework of the old church, and was rebuilt on the same plan. The new tower with broach spire was built projecting out of the eastern side of the nave. The church was largely demolished in 1952, except for the tower, spire and porch.

Farmland west of Frocester Surprising to see hay bales still out in the fields in January; perhaps they were surplus to requirements. The piles of manure are obviously waiting to be spread on the land to improve the waterlogged clay soil.
