| Buckland, St Michael
|
|
A small 13th century church with an astonishing array of historic treasures. Among these are The Buckland Cope, a 15th century embroidered cape, painted stone panels from Hailes Abbey, a 15th century mazer (ceremonial cup), and Jacobean shepherds pews. Well worth a visit.

| Cirencester, St John the Baptist
|
|
Often called the 'Cathedral of the Cotswolds', St John the Baptist, Cirencester, is one of the largest and most elegant medieval churches in the county, if not the entire country. It features an elaborate south porch, 15th century wine-glass pulpit, and a gilded silver goblet given by Anne Boleyn to the doctor who cared for the future Queen Elizabeth.

| Deerhurst Saxon church
|
|
One of the most intriguing and architecturally fascinating Saxon churches still in existence. Deerhurst is unique in that the church is almost entirely Saxon, which a paucity of later aditions. It is rare to see two historic churches so close together; Deerhurst boasts Odda's Chapel (English Heritage) and the delightful Saxon church of St Mary's. The church was founded about the year 800, and later became part of a monastic settlement.

| Elkstone, St John the Evangelist
|
|
St John the Evangelist in Elkstone is the highest church in the Cotswolds. It is tucked away off the busy A417 Cirencester to Gloucester road, but it is well worth taking a detour to explore the church and its striking collection of Norman features. There is an unusual dovecote above the chancel and quite exeptional Norman arches in the chancel and sanctuary.
