https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Cerney
"The early 12th-century Church of All Saints is English Heritage Grade I listed for its special architectural and historic interest.[8] Restorations and excavations on the site have revealed several 12th-century artifacts that have been subsequently incorporated into the later works.[9] Similarly, the Church's original 12th-century stone altar was rediscovered and returned to the church in 1912.[10] There is a 14th-century churchyard cross in the grounds as well as numerous ancient grave memorials.[9]
A fire in the 14th century severely damaged the Norman-era roof as well as some walls. The church was fully restored through the wealth of the Cotswold wool industry and the determination of the rector William Whitchurch. A stained-glass window in the church memorialises him for his efforts. Despite the fire, some Norman work in the tower, porch and chancel is still evident along with two other 14th-century stained glass windows. The south wall exterior shows some unusual scratch markings of a manticore and a leopard. The purpose of the markings is unknown but thought perhaps to have been the work of masons during one of the expansions. The Lady Chapel has tombs of the Croome family of Cerney House."
