Looks limestoney. Could be the Cotswolds. Romans were quite active in that area, however. So perhaps they're hiding.
Nice distinctive tower.

Its vaguely similar to Hemsley, but it isnt there.

I thought it looked like yellow Cotswold stone. I didn't realise that that is a form of limestone. I'm used to the grey type in the Yorkshire Dales.
Any sandstone I have seen is a more pinky brown colour. Coventry still has a few old sandstone buildings left in the city centre, which escaped being Coventrated in 1940. For example...

Park Road, Chipping Campden. Definitely Cotswold!

I have cycled through Chipping Camden a couple of times, but all I can remember is that distinctive stone. I would probably have eventually taken a look there if nobody had identified the road by then.

A real limestone enthusiast can place Cotswold stone by its colour - it varies in hue across the region. I had it pegged as Cotswolds and it looked kind of familiar so I am not surprised by the location, having been through there a few times.

I cycled within a couple of miles of Chipping Campden on May 29 last year. So close. I would surely have recognised it if we'd gone that way. 
Maybe.

I felt the same about the recent Lydney one. Rode through Lydney last summer, but not up that road.I cycled within a couple of miles of Chipping Campden on May 29 last year. So close. I would surely have recognised it if we'd gone that way.

Believe it or not, that's exactly what I did. I had to remind myself where the honey-coloured stone is predominant (good old Wikipedia) and after that Chipping Campden looked a likely suspect. Like everyone else it seems, I rode through CC a couple of years ago, but couldn't have recognised it.
Here's the next one. You may find it easier once your worn latches have been replaced:

As Cotswold-spotter-in-chief I can definitely say "Not the Cotswolds"
