NOTES: Founded in the 12th century, this church is often called the 'Cathedral of the Cotswolds'. The chancel survives from the 13th and 14th centuries while the south porch giving access to the market square, was added in 1490. The remodelling of the church in Perpendicular style was completed in 1520. The church was fully restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1865-1867.
