About

Welcome to the Parish of Cirencester, a vibrant community nestled in the heart of the picturesque Cotswold town. Our Parish is home to three Anglican churches, with the magnificent St John Baptist Church standing proudly in the Market Place. This beautifully refurbished church is not only a place of worship but also a hub for cultural events, concerts, and quiet reflection. Whether you seek traditional or contemporary worship, we invite you to experience the warmth and peace that our churches offer.

At St John Baptist, we believe in fostering a sense of community and connection. Our doors are open every day of the year, welcoming thousands of visitors who come to admire the stunning architecture, learn about our rich history, or simply enjoy a moment of tranquility. We are dedicated to providing a warm welcome to everyone, ensuring that each visitor feels at home.

The Friends of the Parish Church is a charity committed to the care and preservation of St John Baptist, reflecting our ethos of stewardship and community support. We offer a variety of services and activities for all ages, including opportunities for children and youth to engage and participate. From choir and music events to community gatherings, there is always something happening at our churches.

For those looking for a unique experience, we invite you to climb the tower on select days for breathtaking views of Cirencester. Our church shop also offers a selection of locally sourced gifts and souvenirs, perfect for remembering your visit. We look forward to welcoming you to our Parish and sharing in the joy of community and faith.
