Bibury has attracted visitors for many years, admired by Alexander Pope and William Morris, its beauty is undiminished. The church of St Mary was a significant Saxon minster, new work between the late C12 and mid C13 added a NW tower, north and south aisles and lengthened the chancel. The north aisle was widened in the C14. Perpendicular S and W windows were later additions to the pleasing aesthetic. A beautiful Saxon gravestone decorated with interlacing circles was built into a pilaster on the north chancel wall in 1913, while there are casts of other Saxon work which were donated to the British Museum. There are traces of the Saxon church visible, particularly a round window west of the south porch. The chancel arch retains its square Saxon jambs and imposts and acanthus-like foliate capitals. C13 south door and slightly later porch with an excellent mass dial and an angular-headed niche on the east wall. A late C12 N doorway has been reused in the later N aisle. The chancel was remodeled with lancets and lengthened in the C13 and has a large number of aumbries, also a large piscina.
Fine C15 nave roof. The late C13 square font has tracery panels and is supported by four octagonal pillars with a central pillar through which the drain runs. C19 stone pulpit and 1874 brass lectern by Scott. Chancel seat might have been a carved C16 bedstead. Two needlework pictures c.1730-40. C13 grisaille glass in the south chancel window, medieval fragments north aisle, east window Thomas Willement 1855. North wall of the chancel has the famous Arts and Crafts window by Karl Parsons 1927, once used on a postage stamp. Other windows by Wailes. Two floor brasses depict the deceased as a skeleton. The churchyard has many bale, table and pedestal tombs, Bibury court and the National school of 1854 create a picturesque setting. The famous Arlington Row dates from 1380 or at least the central five buildings, which may have been a wool store for Osney Abbey.
This was nice until the swastika was painted over it. If anyone knows who the graf artist is (NOT the swastika painter), PM me, willya? Thankee.

Every once in a while a weird font comes along that sets your graphics on its ear. Zupiter has that talent; its zany, angular lines make text look like it’s about to bounce off the page.
