The church of St Peter & St Paul is a beautiful building in the heart of Blockley village. Full of human interest and interwoven with the people of this place for more than a thousand years, the church has survived good times and bad, and in the process has been altered, extended, and embellished.

The body of this beautiful little chapel is Saxon and fairly early Norman, though the round Saxon apse was destroyed in the early 19th century.
St James the Great has a 14th century Decorated Gothic nave and chancel, but was rebuilt in the 19th century. The pulpit is Jacobean.
The Collegiate Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity is better known as the Holy Trinity Church or as Shakespeare’s Church. It is the place of William Shakespeare’s baptism, marriage and burial.
The current church building dates from 1210 and is therefore the oldest building in Stratford-upon-Avon. In the 14th century, a chantry was founded by John de Stratford. This had to be rebuilt between 1465 and 1491. Some believe that the church originally had a wooden spire, which was replaced in 1763.
