St. Matthew's was built 1842-44 and is by T. Fulljames. The chancel and South aisle were added in 1891 by Waller & Son. The church is elegant yet prim. The tower with its small but sharp spire stands in front of a box-nave.
It is built of carefully roughened stone. The style is Early English. The additions are more accomplished, but not more interesting, with detail breaking away into the semi-Decorated style. The church stands beside the busy main road from Gloucester to Tewkesbury.
