This church is in the heart of Gloucester and features in baptismal, marriage and death records of numerous Vicks who lived in Gloucester.  Parts of it hail from the 12th century but as with most buildings it has undergone many renovations.  The building beside it, the Crypt School was built in the mid 1500s to provide free education to local boys.  It is still open, albeit elsewhere.  The church and school room were closed during my visit pending fund raising and renovation.

Known as the Storytellers Bench and built in recent times.  it included a couple of men clutching cans who shuffled across some seats to allow me to photograph the seats.  A woman with a fag wanted me to photograph her.
