This stately church, built in the 1400s, is the town's famous Perpendicular wool church, which can be seen from miles around.

Although there was a Norman church on this site from the 12th century, the present structure has evolved since the middle of the 13th century. There is a wealth of history to be found here, including a unique pair of Altar hanging Frontals (c.1500) which were copied at the request of Queen Mary for the High Altar of Westminster Abbey for George V's coronation ceremony in 1912. There is also possibly the earliest surviving example of a Cope, which dates from around 1400. The original stained glass windows from the 15th century have almost all been replaced, with only small fragments remaining. The Jacobean pulpit and Flemish lectern were gifts from Sir Baptist Hicks, whose ornate tomb is in the Gainsborough Chapel. This is a magnificent church, well worth visiting.

Looked for somewhere to have Sunday lunch, left it late as normal so booked on Saturday afternoon. Website does not look great and thought may have made a mistake. How wrong was I, a little gem, lovely atmosphere, made very welcome and a great garden to sit in if I wished. Arrived an hour early but this was not a problem as table was reserved for us and mor than happy for us to eat early, how different than the Ebrington Arms, ( avoid, avoid avoid)they should come here for staff training. Meal was great,starters large and roast was nice and tasty and extra gravy ! My wife had scampi as not to keen on a roast and this was lovely and tasty too. A hidden gem, well worth a visit.....

Paused to take in the view on our walk to Broadway tower. Said hello to several sheep. The view was very nice and well worth the walk.

This has been the 'must see' 'building in Chipping Campden since the day it was built. It has not suffered like some ancient buildings by been touched up. If you stand inside and close your eyes you can imagine the sheep having been brought down from the Cotswold hills to be sold here. It'll still stand when modern buildings will have fallen down.
