Preston Bagot is a small, dispersed village in the Stratford district of Warwickshire, 6 miles W of Warwick. The church is on the N side of the settlement and is built of grey limestone rubble. It consists of a nave with a W bell turret and S porch, and a chancel with a N vestry. The nave and chancel are largely 12thc, but the church was restored by J. A. Chatwin who lengthened the chancel, added the chancel arch, heightened the walls and added the timber bell-turret in 1878-79. The N nave wall retains its doorway and 3 plain lancets, all of the 12thc. The S doorway is also recorded here.

Brailes is a village in the Sratford on Avon districty of S Warwickshire, 8 miles E of Banbury. The village is divided into Upper (E) and Lower (W) Brailes, and the church is on the N side of Lower Brailes High Street. It is a large church of coursed ironstone with a tall W tower, an aisled nave with a S porch, and a chancel with a N vestry. It is largely of 1325-72 with a 15thc tower, and was restored by William Smith from 1877-79. He rebuilt the chancel arch and the N aisle and clerestorey. The vestry was enlarged 1892-93. None of the fabric is Romanesque, but there is a section of an interesting carved shaft loose in the church.
Ruined parish church
All that remains of the church is the buttressed, three-stage 12thc. tower and part of the S transept including a 14thc. N arcade. The S transept was restored in 1835 for use as a mortuary chapel. The tower has a twin pointed bell-opening ofc.1200 (Pevsner refers to them asc.1200 twins.) on the highest stage of the W face with a shared mullion within a round-headed, chamfered arch. There is a round-headed window of two orders on the second stage and a further deeply splayed round-headed window set into a buttress on the S face, heavily restored. The only Romanesque sculpture is on the corbels supporting the tower arch.

The S doorway is 12thc. as is the blocked N doorway. Much of the walling masonry is of the local whitish-grey lias limestone.\n'
Parish church
A large church with a two-aisled nave, chancel, transepts and crossing tower. The S doorway and parts of the crossing are 12thc. as are two small, plain, splayed, clerestory window openings, one above each transept arch. The present church dates from the 12thc. when it probably consisted of a chancel, nave, S transept and a low central tower. The N. transept was added in the early 13thc. In the 14thc. the church was rebuilt with the addition of aisles. In the 17thc. the low tower was raised to form a belfry. Of the 12thc. church, the tower crossing remains, with the 13thc. arch to the N transept and the N doorway reused in the 14thc. S aisle.

There is also a two-part crypt, rectangular under the chancel, and octagonal under the nave, both Romanesque. The fabric is of red Kenilworth-type sandstone, unless otherwise stated. Romanesque sculpture is found in the N doorway, which was resetc.1350 and is now protected by a porch, in the windows of the chancel both inside and out; on the corbel tables and buttresses of the chancel; in the chancel arch and the N nave arcade, and in the crypt.

Parish church
The church consists of a 12thc. nave and chancel and a 15thc. W tower with a Victorian timber top incorporating a pyramidal tiled roof. Surviving 12thc. features include two plain, round-headed lancets in the chancel (N and S walls) and one in the nave (N wall) as well as traces of what was originally a group of three round-headed windows in the E wall of the chancel. Only the outer jambs of this group is still discernable owing to the insertion of a larger, later window. There are also blocked doorways in the N and S walls of the nave. The jambs and arch of the original S doorway now form the W doorway to the tower. The font is also of the 12thc.
