St Mary the Virgin

St Bartholomew's is a fine and much loved church, full of interest. The nave and side aisle roofs were renewed in 2009, the latest work in a building that dates from about 1220. The church is particularly famous for its monuments.

Hentland was the Collegiate Church or monastery of St Dyfrig (alias Dubricius), the famous 6th century Bishop of Glywysing & Gwent. As such it is, even today, a popular place of pilgrimage.

Gloucester Cathedral was built from the 11th century on the foundations of a 7th century abbey dedicated to Saint Peter. The current late Gothic structure is largely the result of developments undertaken in the 14th century by the Norman Benedictine abbot Serlo and his successors who decorated the transept and choir. The cathedral houses the tomb of King Edward II.
