Church

Up Hatherley church of Saint Philip and Saint James

There was a church at Up Hatherley from at least 1022. The original church was destroyed in a fire in about 1640 and Up Hatherley parishioners had to use the north aisle of the church of the nearby village of Shurdington. The church of St. Philip and St. James was built between 1885 and 1886. It cost £2,000 and was paid for by Rev. W. H. Gretton and Mrs Gretton. The late Rev. Gretton had donated the land and his widow had intended to have a chapel built since her failing health made it difficult for her to travel as far as Badgeworth to attend church. When residents asked her if they could attend the proposed chapel, she decided to have a village church built. The new church, seating approximately 150 parishioners, was consecrated in 1886 by the Lord Bishop of Gloucester. The first vicar of the new parish was Rev. E. L. Jennings.
