A large aisled church with a central tower, the present building dates from the late 12th century but has fragments of Anglo-Saxon work. The church is a Grade I listed building. The dedication is to Saint Samson of Dol, born in Wales in the late 5th century, who was one of the founders of religion in Brittany. History and architectureA stone church was mentioned as standing on this site in c. 973.[2] The 1086 Domesday Book recorded the church, on land held by Westminster Abbey.[3] Small amounts of Anglo-Saxon stonework survive in the present building, in particular in the south wall of the nave.[4] The north arcade was added in the late 12th century, while the south arcade is from a remodelling in the 13th. The chancel is 13th-century, remodelled in the 14th and 15th. To the north is the Hungerford chapel, probably built for Sir Edmund Hungerford (d. 1484).[2] The tower was begun in the early 16th century and completed in the 1550s at the expense of the Duke of Northumberland and the Hungerford family. Nikolaus Pevsner wrote: "The distinguishing feature of the church is its proud and self-certain, somewhat heavy and certainly not elegant, crossing tower",[5] while Simon Jenkins describes it in England's Thousand Best Churches as "massive rather than graceful".[6] Restoration in 1863-4 was by Ewan Christian. Stained glass in the west window is by Kempe, 1888.[1] In 1930 Martin Travers designed two windows and the decoration of the two altars.[7]Crosses in churchyardA broken shaft of a medieval limestone cross, on a crude octagonal base, can be seen against the gable of a gatehouse at the northern perimeter of the churchyard.[8] A 14th-century limestone cross stands in the northeast of the churchyard, complete with a carved head. This was the town cross which stood at the High Street crossroads until c. 1817-20 when the town hall was demolished. It is a Grade II* listed structure.[9] ParishUntil 1952, Cricklade's two churches – St Sampson's and St Mary's – had separate parishes. A united parish of Cricklade was created, and at the same time the benefice became 'The United Benefice of Cricklade with Latton'[10] which included St John the Baptist at Latton and the redundant St Mary's at Eysey, near Latton (demolished 1953).[11] In 1981 St Mary's was declared redundant,[12] making St Sampson's the sole church of the parish. Since 2007 the parishes have formed part of the Upper Thames Group, together with Holy Cross, Ashton Keynes and All Saints', Leigh.[13] References1. ^1 {{National Heritage List for England|num=1023081|desc=Church of St Sampson|accessdate=16 March 2016}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|website=Wiltshire Community History|title=Church of St. Sampson, Cricklade|url=http://history.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/getchurch.php?id=532|publisher=Wiltshire Council|accessdate=13 May 2016}} 3. ^{{OpenDomesday|SU1093|cricklade|Cricklade}} 4. ^{{cite book|author1=Harold McCarter Taylor|author2=Joan Sills Taylor|title=Anglo-Saxon architecture|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EHpYAAAAMAAJ|year=1965|publisher=University Press|pages=182–4}} 5. ^{{cite book |last1=Pevsner |first1=Nikolaus |authorlink1=Nikolaus Pevsner |last2=Cherry |first2=Bridget (revision) |year=1975 |origyear=1963 |title=Wiltshire |series=The Buildings of England |edition=2nd |place=Harmondsworth |publisher=Penguin Books |isbn=0-14-0710-26-4 |page=199}} 6. ^{{cite book |last1=Jenkins |first1=Simon |authorlink=Simon Jenkins |title=England's Thousand Best Churches |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UO22pwAACAAJ |year=2013 |publisher=Penguin Publishing Group |isbn=978-1-84614-664-0 |page=724}} 7. ^{{cite book|author1=Rodney Warrener|author2=Michael Yelton|title=Martin Travers, 1886-1948: An Appreciation|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MmPqAAAAMAAJ|year=2003|publisher=Unicorn Press|isbn=978-0-906290-70-5|pages=163–6}} 8. ^{{National Heritage List for England|num=1023082|desc=St. Sampson's Cross, against gable of gatehouse, in churchyard, Church of St. Sampson|access-date=13 May 2016|fewer-links=yes}} 9. ^{{National Heritage List for England|num=1182771|desc=Old Town Cross, in churchyard, Church of St. Sampson|access-date=16 May 2016|fewer-links=yes}} 10. ^{{London Gazette |issue=39678 |date=24 October 1952 |pages=5590–5591}} 11. ^{{cite web|website=Wiltshire Community History|title=Church of St. Mary, Eysey|url=http://history.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/getchurch.php?id=1278|publisher=Wiltshire Council|accessdate=16 May 2016}} 12. ^{{cite web|title=History of St Mary's|url=http://www.crickladestmary.org.uk/history.htm|publisher=Friends of St Mary's Church|accessdate=16 May 2016}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=Upper Thames Group of Churches|url=http://www.upperthames.org.uk/|accessdate=16 May 2016}} External links{{Commons category inline|St Sampson's Church, Cricklade}}
