St Michael's church is now some distance from the village and is surrounded by the buildings of Church Farm. The church is of late 12th century construction with a small Perpendicular tower and a late Norman north transept. Church, tythe barn and farm are beautifully maintained and form an attractive grouping visible from some distance across the wonderful local countryside. The nave has a lively depiction of Death wielding his scythe, no doubt a stern warning to wayward churchgoers. Yanworth is a short distance from Chedworth Roman villa and the spectacular countryside of the Stowell Park Estate that provides the setting for both village and villa make the area well worth a visit. www.bwthornton.co.uk
