Church of St Edward the Confessor, Kempley, Medieval parish church in Kempley, England.
The Church of St Edward the Confessor features red sandstone walls from Forest of Dean quarries and stone reliefs depicting religious scenes at its entrance.
The church was built between 1903 and 1904 under the supervision of architect Randall Wells, commissioned by the 7th Earl of Beauchamp to serve local populations.
The interior furnishings, including the altar and prayer desk, were crafted from English oak by Peter Waals at the Daneway Workshop following Arts and Crafts principles.
Located in the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire near the Herefordshire border, the church requires advance arrangements for interior visits.
The church contains unseasoned oak roof timbers specifically cut from the Beauchamp estate, demonstrating local material usage in early 20th-century construction.
