About St. Andrew's Church, Cold Ason (taken form the Northleach Benefice web site)
The church building we see today dates from the 12th Century. It is almost certain that the first church in this parish was built circa AD904 when Werfith, the Bishop of Worcester, gave land to a thegn named Wulfsig. Such gifts were usually connected with the building of a church. Fragments of Saxon stonework carved with entwined serpents have been incorporated in the west wall of the 19th century porch (as has part of the 14th century piscina). Much of the stonework of the chancel wall would appear to be of Saxon origin too. An ancient, 600 year old yew tree with a girth of over 16 feet, stands guard in the grounds of the church.
