There may have been a church at Bredon in the Saxon period, but the current parish church of St. Giles dates to 1190, with further additions during the 13th and 14th centuries. One of the most interesting features of the church is the superb collection of medieval stained glass, and there are also very well-preserved medieval floor tiles near the altar.
