This medieval monastery-turned-museum showcases a stunning collection of Saxon artifacts, relics, and artworks within its ancient stone walls. The tranquil atmosphere and serene surroundings provide a perfect backdrop to explore the region's rich history, with exhibits featuring intricately crafted jewelry, illuminated manuscripts, and other treasures.
A lovely slice of history. Will advise to buy a guidebook to understand the impotance of this place. It has a lovely feeling. We went on an extremely windy day, not able to enjoy the surroundings.
Really great guided tour from a kind and knowledgable gentleman. I learned lots of interesting things! Thankyou so much! Maybe bring back a brass rubbing activity as well as a fund raising idea? Would be great to take away a little souvenir like that. Lovely interesting morning - thanks for using the microphone too - helped my husband who doesn't hear well xxx
Beautiful church and the nearby hall is gorgeous
The church may look gothic from outside but please go inside and you will see how churches used to look like 1300 years ago. It's a 10' drive from Stratford-upon-Avon, so if you are there and have some interest in history, take your car and visit this lovely church.
Full of beauty everywhere you Look, parking is easily accessible and next to the Sanctuary. Grounds a well maintained with benches dotted around to take a seat and admire the view.
