History

Without doubt, even by English standards, this is a remarkable church. Its very beginning was a place of utmost faith. It spurned a huge theological college which is now gone. It has relics, like an extremely early Bible. Of course it contains Shakespeare’s and many other now famous people’s tombs, but it’s an alive church. The church is not the building, it’s its people, and down the centuries its people have fomented progress.

There has not been time to summarise any of that here, and maybe at some point we will but perhaps for now you need to go on a journey of discovery of what the church and others say about it. You won’t be disappointed but you’ll need a comfortable armchair and a few weeks off.
