High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Church of St. Michael is the parish church of Yanworth, Gloucestershire, England. The church is a Grade II* listed building dating from the late-12th and 15th centuries. The church stands isolated from Yanworth village adjacent to Church Farm. Like many churches in the Cotswolds, isolation of the church from the village was likely due to the Black Death, which swept through Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire in the 14th century. In order to try to contain the epidemic, many houses were destroyed and burnt to the ground, leaving only the church and a few substantial buildings standing. The exterior of the church is mainly ashlar. The north wall of the chancel is made of limestone rubble mixed with some dressed stone, suggesting that this wall was once part of an earlier building. The roof is of stone slate except for the nave, which is leaded. A 12th century moulded plinth surrounds the church. A miniature tower, dating from the 15th century, stands flush with the west wall.
