After enjoying the stroll long the cobbled street you will arrive at this impressive church with it's seperate tall bell tower. The church itself dates back to the twelfth century and boasts two different depictions of The Last Supper.
Certainlly worth a visit if you have time in the lovely little town of Ledbury.

The separate bell tower was huge and awe-inspiring, with a lot of fascinating information about its history displayed on the ground floor. The church itself was large, with many beautiful stained glass windows, memorials and different parts to it, all well cared for and attractive. It was very peaceful and welcoming. It is one of the most impressive of the many churches we have visited over the years.

The Church is essential for a visit to Ledbury. There has been a church on the site from the 8th Century and it has a fascinating history. The separate Tower is unusual and quite unique. As we visited a choir was practising for a concert and the effct was breath-taking.

I remember visiting years ago to see an embroidery exhibition in this church, but hadn’t really taken much notice of the actual building itself, so this visit felt like my first. So much to see and marvel at - and all beautifully maintained with enough information to make it interesting but not boring. I particularly liked the Heaton window with all its symbolism and unusual colours. Well worth a visit and I look forward to returning learn more.

We were first drawn by the unusual tombstones in front of the church. As we got closer beautiful singing was emanating through the stone walls and old oak doors. It drew us in. We are not “church” goers in a sense but the awe inspiring architecture and chorus of harmonising voices beckoned us to look closer. Built in early 1200’s on the site of what was once a Norman church was mind blowing. This place is older than our country!
It was an evening service and we walked around, admiring the many things on display which included a lost, Last Supper Painting that took 20 years to finish and the very unusual gravestones as flooring. The stained glass was exquisite and we truly enjoyed the open door policy to come in and look around.

From the outside it looks just like any other church but prepare to be surprised. We were greeted by a friendly volunteer who gave ua a potted history of the church. The glass stained windows are worth taking time to study. There is a modern addition which is fascinating. The church and Ledbury are also connected to a naval ship made of plastic!

A friend who lives in Ledbury showed us this church, which is reached via an ancient street. It is a large Parish Church - more like a small cathedral. Very well maintained the impressive architecture contains many historic artefacts and well researched information. The adjacent bell tower has an excellent exhibition on bell ringing. Certainly worth a visit.

There's a lot to see in this large parish church with its handsome nave and wide aisles with their fine rows of windows giving a sense of space (quite unlike the chancel with its rough limestone walls and porthole clerestory windows). There are plenty of memorial slabs on the floor, and other interesting monuments dotted over the walls. The best windows, with ballflower decoration, are in the north chancel chapel and are reminiscent of the finer ones at Leominster. It is worth finding the 'hidden' red glass window, set so high above the main east window that it is impossible to see from most angles. You need to stand in a central position about three feet back from the chancel steps; a couple of paces in any other direction and it disappears - very clever. The separate tower is as good a place as any to see the variety of building stone used and the mixture of grey Silurian limestone and Old Red Sandstone reflects the nearby geological boundary.

On my way to Eastnor castle on Sunday morning, I thought I would stop and take a look at the Church St. Micheals and All Saints.
Parking on the main road near to the police station there is a lane that cuts through to the church.
The bells were calling the congregation on Sunday morning and what a fabulous sound.
On this occasion I only walked around the church and throughout the graveyard, not wanted to disturb the service that was about to begin.
Beautiful and interesting architecture, a grand church indeed!
