Story

Please help us meet the running and maintenance costs of our two churches: St Mary Magdalene, Boddington, a 13th century Grade 1 listed building & St Catherine, Staverton, also dating back to the 13th centuryIn Saxon times,

The present church in Staverton dates from the 13th century but an earlier, more simple structure probably existed, with clergy coming from the monastery at Deerhurst, to conduct services. The original dedication for Staverton Church was in honour of St John the Baptist but it was changed in the middle ages when St Catherine became popular! Boddington was within the peculiar of the Priory and Church of Deerhurst. The lands of Boddington, including the Manor, belonged to St Denys of Paris from the time of Edward the Confessor and, with Boddington Mill are mentioned in the Doomsday Book.

The church, which is kept open all day, is dedicated to St. Lawrence. In the earliest days it belonged to St. Oswold’s Priory in Gloucester, from which a chaplain was sent out to minister to the people. The present building is partly 14th century, but was mainly rebuilt in 1858. The belfry holds a ring of 8 bells. A team regularly ring for the main services, and also for special occasions. In 1996 a churchyard survey was carried out, when all memorials and their inscriptions were recorded, a copy of this is in the church and a map and index of names are on the back of the notice board in the car park. This was updated in 2017 and a complete index of names is kept in the church.
