This parish church is huge! It certainly has the size, if not quite the history, of many cathedrals in England. Well worth buying the guide book to look around. They also sell a guide to the heraldry, which really only makes sense when you are in the building. I tried to read it at home afterwards but found that it would be far better with more pictures of the coats of arms than with just descriptions and locations. The south porch is particularly huge - apparently the Town Hall was once upstairs. There are two notable memorial tombs (Humfry Bridges d. 1598 and Thomas Master d. 1680), with statues, in completely different styles, as well as various memorials on the walls and floors.

Bigger and more fascinating than some cathedrals I would imagine. Amazingly ornate architecture inside and out. The buttresses are wonderful to look at before you even venture inside. You have to look everywhere including up. The history of the structure is awe inspiring. How did they build it, who carved the many intricacies? Lots of poignent inscriptions to read. It is an active church. There was a reading whilst we visited which echoed around the walls and did make you stop and ponder. Historic buildings of this age are so fascinating. How they were designed and how that vision was then made in to an actual building is amazing. Go and visit and have a quiet period of contemplation.

Right in the centre of Cirencester this grade 1 listed building is well worth a visit reflecting various architectural styles since the 12th century. The oldest parts being the chancel and attached chapel. Built from Cotswold stone, it is one of the "largest parish churches in England" and contains various tombs and monuments along with some fragments of medieval stained glass and wall paintings. You can pick up a guided leaflet on entry and there is also normally a volunteer guide to hand to whom you can direct any questions. Don't miss The Boleyn Cup made for Ann Boleyn in 1535.

Had a guided tour of the church which was well worth it. I had visited the church previously but learnt so much more by having the tour. The gentleman guide was extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the church and its history.
