St Edward

St Edward's Church is a medieval-built Church of England parish church, serving Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire.

A tourist attraction, it is among 98 Grade I listed buildings in Cotswold, a mainly rural district having about one third of the total of Grade I listed buildings in Gloucestershire. The surrounding district, due to many factors such as the Cotswold Hills and distance from major cities, has a concentration of conservation areas featuring neatly cut blocks and masonry of Cotswold stone which is borne out by the building materials of the church's square-towered, multi-arch structure. Its large stained glass windows, buttresses and neatly kept churchyard are among the reasons for its listing in the highest architectural category.
