Rangeworthy Holy Trinity

 

The Parish

The parish of Rangeworthy, created from Thornbury parish of which it was a chapelry, lies in south central Gloucestershire. Rangeworthy is located about 3 miles northwest of the town of Yate. Rangeworthy is a tiny place, little more than a hamlet, which sits on the B4058 road which connects Yate with Wotton under Edge. Rangeworthy would largely have earned its income from pastoral farming at the time of this transcript, although a few folk reputedly were involved in hat manufacture. Today this is just a scatter of farms and cottages across the level plains to the east of the Severn estuary. Rangeworthy is drained by small tributaries of the Ladden Brook which heads south to join the River Frome making its way through nearby Bristol to join the Avon and reach the Irish Sea through its gorge. Rangeworthy is sited at around 60 metres above the sea and land about it is at or close to that height for some distance. Rangeworthy parish was small by Gloucestershire standards, it covered just under 900 acres and would have supported a population of around 300 parishioners. There is no specific mention of rangeworthy in Domesday Book.


The Church

Holy Trinity church lies to the west of the B4058 accessed along Church Lane. The church is plain and simple as befits a small parish but has ancient origins. Pevsner cites its southern doorway and chancel arch as showing features of the Norman Romanesque style characteristic of the 12th century. In common with many churches the building was altered during the 15th century in a Perpendicular style and also again in Victorian times, in this case 1851. The Victorians added the vestry and a northern aisle. The church lacks a tower being served by just a bellcote in the Early English Gothic style. The church sits at the western end of Church Lane where there is a small parking area and overlooks the level plains of the Ladden Brook valley. A low local stone wall protects from the lane and wooden gates grant access, the church is tightly enclosed within its small churchyard and is surrounded to the west by trees restricting the angles available for photography.
