The name Lower Slaughter is thought to be a corruption of the word slohtre meaning a marshy place - probably an apt description before the river was channelled into its present course. The present church was erected in 1867, the architect being Benjamin Ferrey. His design is based on the 'Early English' and 'Decorated' styles. The black marble columns at the entrance to the chancel are typically Victorian. One of the memorials in the church honours Sir Anthony Milward - a one time Chairman of British Airways.
