This place is amazing! It gets five stars from Simon Jenkins due to the Medieval Glass - the only complete set of windows in the country! But it also has a complete set of misericords in the Chancel Stalls - the church supplies a couple of torches so that you can see them as it is pretty dark there. These seats probably came from Cirencester Abbey (now a ruin) after the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
Use the laminated lists of the 28 windows provided (don't forget to return them!) so that you can go around identifying the characters and events in the windows. They could do with a similar guide to the misericords, too. The guidebook is well worth the money so that you can identify the windows from your own photographs later. Perhaps the most surprising thing about the stained glass is that some show the antagonists against the heroes of the faith. The guide book describes all the windows and has photographs of most of them - obviously better than your own, as well, so concentrate on details of the windows with your own camera.
We visited late in the afternoon in October - apparently a good time as the sun was low in the sky and shows the glass to best effect. But go whenever you can - this is spectacular!

Very interesting group visit to this church with amazing stained glass. Just a shame the sun wasn't shining to appreciate it fully. An excellent guide - with so much knowledge! Thank you.

This beautiful little church is definitely off the regular tourist path, but it's worth a little effort. Simply magnificent stained glass windows, and you might have the place entirely to yourself, as we did. A joy for us, but sad for all those who'll never stop to visit.

This building is the only parish church with a complete set of medieval stained glass and is a must see for anyone with an interest in stained glass and church architecture. Some truly stunning features. Very welcoming.

A beautiful church and courtyard. The stain glass windows are fabulous and the crunch itself is a magnificent building. Even if you’re not religious, it’s a beautiful piece of art and history. Free to look around and lots of information and free audio guide! Amazing! Defiantly worth a visit!

Picked up a book called Harris's guide to churches and cathedrals at a charity shop and have since been trying to find out what he had evidently found out. The windows here are truly remarkable in that they are over 500 years old. They tell the story from the Garden of Eden to the last judgment and do so powerfully. Window 15, the west window, looks quite blue in the guide to the windows purchased at the church but the photos I took, with the sun reasonably low in the sky, magnified the reds. A most pleasant lady was in attendance at the entrance and was prepared to move from her station to let me know some things about the building thereby saving me some time. My wife and friend were at the Swindon Outlet centre and I had driven across having first visited Lydiard Tregoze to see the magnificent St Mary's that is there before returning to fetch them home. I will, no doubt, be bringing both ladies back to this magnificent edifice.

Stopped in Fairford for Lunch. The church is right on the town square. It was a cold day. Church was heated. Many examples of stained glass windows. Volunteer was informative. Well worth seeing.

We were coming back from a wedding in the West Country and took the opportunity to stop in Fairford to visit the church. I'd just read the latest book by John Connelly and the ending was set in the church at Fairford and he mentioned they had the finest medieval stained glass windows in Western Europe. Can't argue that one! The windows depict scenes from the Bible and the largest, which depicts Judgement Day, is astonishing. It is also a very nice church in itself, well worth a visit. And stay in the Bull Hotel (reviewed on its own as it's so good) which is a 5 min walk from the church.
