St Lawrence, Didmarton, at the Tetbury end of the village, is a gem.  The mediaeval church contains a perfect set of Georgian fittings including painted box pews and a three-decker pulpit.  At the back, high up on the wall, are a series of hat pegs – their position is a clue to the original lay out of the Church, for there must have been a gallery.  In the aisle, a splendid old clock mechanism ticks away the hours.
