St Nicholas of Myra's Church - Ozleworth, Gloucestershire
Image: © Martin Richard Phelan Taken: Unknown
This is the church of St Nicholas at Ozleworth with its hexagonal tower in a round churchyard – one of only two round churchyards in Gloucestershire. The oldest parts of the building date from the early 12th century. There have been various additions and alterations over the centuries and the building has for some years been in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The name of this place is thought to derive from 'blackbird frequented farmstead' but wherever the name came from it is still a quite remote and perhaps little visited spot.
