Parish church
This is a Perpendicular church that was restored in 1868 and 1883, the dates appearing on rainwater goods. In the N wall of the chancel there is a reset late Norman door while inside the church, above the south door of the nave, there are reset heads from the label of a late Norman doorway.

The church has nave arcades of the early 13th century which still have some trumpet scallop capitals but are clearly early gothic in form. However, like the rest of the church they have been over-restored and rebuilt by Arthur Blomfield in 1865-7.
Parish church
This is a small, aisleless church largely rebuilt in 1869-71 by Slater and Carpenter. However the 15thc. tower and two 12thc. doors were retained.
Parish church
The church has a substantially 12thc. nave, Perpendicular chancel, 17thc. N tower (added 1631), and 19thc. S porch. The nave was lengthened to the west in 1891 and the S porch was added at this time. Romanesque sculpture is found on the arch of the N doorway; on the 12thc. material incorporated into the 19thc. S doorway; on a pillar piscina, the font, and on a number of reset fragments. A plain round-headed window survives in the N wall of the nave. Two small mortars are also held in the church. The most accomplished carving in the church is the late 12thc. font, which has ten panels depicting eight Virtues triumphing over eight Vices, as well as a Cherubim and a depiction of Ecclesia triumphing over the Evil One. The church was restored in 1865 by J. Hugall, when the 12thc. apse was excavated.
Parish church
The limestone ashlar and rubble church has chancel, a central tower with N vestry, and nave with S aisle and S porch. The nave is 12thc. as is the tower (Pevsner suggests c.1125 for the tower arch), although its upper parts are neo-Norman. The chancel is 19thc. The S arcade was added in the first half of the 13thc. The S porch was probably 15thc. originally, but was rebuilt in the 19thc. It houses a 12thc. doorway and the reset porch doorway is of c.1175. Romanesque sculpture is found on the tower arch, S porch doorway, S doorway, font, and on a carving set in a niche in the W wall of the nave. The church was altered and restored in 1826 and 1851 by J. H. Hakewill. The chancel was rebuilt in 1888 by C. E. Ponting, an event commemorated on the dated consecration stone.

The ashlar-faced church comprises chancel with south vestry, nave, N porch and W tower. It dates from 1832 with the exception of the 15thc. tower. The only Romanesque feature is the reworked font.

The proportions of the nave suggest an Anglo-Saxon origin while the N arcade of the nave was inserted c1200 or in the early 13thc. The chancel was added in the early 13thc. and the S nave arcade probably a century later.
Parish church
The church is rubble stone and ashlar with stone slate roofs and coped gables. The north and south doorways in the aisles date from the 12th century, indicating that the nave walls predate the 14th century when the arcades were created. The chancel was built in the 15th century and was extended eastwards in the 16th. The tower was added in 1630-2. The church was restored in 1904. The Romanesque elements are the reset and remodelled north and south doorways to the nave aisles, reusing 12th-century shafts and capitals.
Parish church
The large church of St Sampson lies within the now small town of Cricklade on the River Thames.
A pilaster strip in the S wall of the nave is clear evidence that the nave originated before the Conquest. In the late 12thc. the first parts of the north and south arcades were inserted into the nave. In the late 13thc. further bays were added, and the arches of the whole arcade were built.
Romanesque sculpture is found on the arcades. Other loose sculpture, some of which may be Anglo-Saxon, has been inserted into the S wall and the N porch.
Parish church
This small church, located on the High Street in Cricklade, has Norman origins that include the chancel arch. The W tower dates from the 13thc. with Perpendicular upper stories.
