Ozleworth is a small settlement, hardly more than the Hall, in the convoluted W edge of the Cotswold escarpment, draining SW to Alderley. The church is reached through the grounds of the Hall. The building consists of a chancel, a central tower and a nave with a S porch. The central tower is on an irregular hexagonal plan which is widest on the E and W; the upper part of the tower with the ‘belfry’ windows is thought to be a little later than the lower part. The original E arch, to the chancel, survives, as do part of the chancel walls on N and S, but the chancel was extended in the 14thc. The nave arch, the rectangular nave with S doorway and S porch, the blocked N doorway and also the font, date perhaps to c. 1220.
There was a ‘drastic’ restoration in 1873, by the Rev. William H. Lowder. The building passed to the Redundant Churches Fund (now the Churches Conservation Trust) in 1975.
The tower with its six windows and one interior arch are relevant to the CRSBI. Other features (the nave arch, blocked N doorway and font) are briefly included in the report as showing the survival of some 12th-c forms into the next century.
There is a phased plan signed by Thomas Overbury (Wilkinson, Overbury and St Clair Baddeley, 1926, opp. 368).
