Guildford Cathedral

Guildford Cathedral is one of the town’s iconic landmarks and a unique twentieth century Grade II* listed building. Reaching skywards, the Cathedral stands on a commanding spot on Stag Hill, just moments from main transport routes and fifteen minutes’ walk from the town centre. The interior is in complete contrast to its exterior, and well worth a visit for your fix of awe and wonder.

Christ Church

Christ Church is set on the brow of a hill, in the centre of the parish, but on the edge of the village, surrounded by the old and new well kept churchyard and by farmland. The village War Memorial is near the church porch.
