Cirencester - Church of St John the Baptist

This magnificent church of St John the Baptist is like many other Midland churches, built on the earnings of the local wool trade.

The church possesses a collection of communion plate which is said to be the best in England, including the Anne Boleyn Cup, which is on permanent display.

Shorthand writers worldwide recognise the name of Isaac Pitman who was born here in Orchard Street.

 It is a Grade I listed building
