Church of 12th century origins in peaceful rural location.

St Mary's is one of the most complete buildings to survive from before the Norman Conquest.

One of the most complete surviving Saxon churches in England, this chapel was built in 1056 by Earl Odda, a relation of Edward the Confessor.

The first chapel on this site was a meeting room in a building also used as a pub called The Plough, which stood here in the 17th century.

St Mary's has occupied this site for over 900 years, although we are uncertain of the date of consecration.

Modest and unassuming from the outside, Stoke Orchard's little church has many features showing its origins in about 1170.

The Cathedral welcomes everyone who passes through, if you are visiting as a tourist, come to offer your personal prayers and light a candle, or interested in history, architecture or stained glass windows.

Standing magnificently in the centre of the village, St Peter's is a very ancient site of worship and has many historic connections and interesting features.
