Description: All Saints Church is the parish church for Selsley in Gloucestershire. Construction took place in 1861-62. The church contains William Morris's first commission for ecclesiastical stained glass. The distinctive saddleback tower is over a hundred feet easily catching the changing Cotswolds light on its French Gothic gables: the last of the great Cotswold wool churches, and the first to exhibit work of the English Arts and Craft movement. The church is Grade 1 listed by English Heritage who says that this church is one of George Frederick Bodley's most important early works and of great significance in the development of High Victorian architecture.
