St Mary Magdalene

Dubbed the Cathedral of the Cotswolds, Cirencester's brilliant 'wool' church is the largest and, many would say, the finest of them all.

This unusual and rather lovely church gets its character from an eclectic mix of work from the 12th, 15th and 20th centuries.

This enchanting little church, stepped down the slope of a Cotswold hillside, is just as ancient as it looks and feels.
