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.

My husband and I were both really taken by the quality of workmanship and the great appeal and variety of the pieces on display. We surprised ourselves by buying two significant items when buying one was rare for us. We will certainly return when we are again in the area as the items on display are changed frequently.

Our walk along the High Street was a real tonic, with it's wide roadway, fabulous architecture and a range of "real" shops. Parking was a nightmare but it was worth the experience.

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.
