Chalford is a village in the Frome Valley of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, England. It is about 4 miles east and upstream of Stroud. It gives its name to Chalford parish, which covers the villages of Chalford, Chalford Hill, France Lynch, Bussage and Brownshill, spread over 2 miles of the Cotswold countryside. At this point the valley is also called the Golden Valley. The name Chalford may be derived from Calf (Way) Ford, or possibly from the Old English cealj or Chalk and Ford (river crossing point). The 18th century church stands on the main Stroud to Cirencester road and beside the Thames - Severn canal.
The stained glass is in part by Edward Payne and its quality reflects that the area in which the church is situated is known as "Golden Valley". The vital resource of the River Frome, next to the canal, is reflected in the identifiable fish species around the font bowl.
