St Michael and All Angels, Poole Keynes

Poole Keynes is a small village and civil parish in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, England. The village lies about 4 1⁄4 miles (7 km) south of the town of Cirencester. At the 2011 Census the population of the parish was 188.[1]

The Church of England parish church of St Michael and All Angels was built c. 1770 on the site of an older church, and restored in 1845.[2] Today the parish is served by the Thameshead benefice, a grouping of six parishes.[3]

The first tier of local government is a parish meeting, which all electors are entitled to attend.[4]

Lakes in the southeast of the parish, formed by gravel extraction, are part of the Cotswold Water Park nature reserve.
