Saint Giles Church Reading

Heritage Open Days 2024

Sat 7 Sep 10:00 - 16:00 / Sat 14 Sep 10:00 - 16:00

View one of the three medieval churches in Reading.  In 1191, Pope Clement III gave the church to Reading Abbey and throughout the Middle Ages it enjoyed the right of sanctuary.  During the Civil Wars of the 17th century, St. Giles tower was garrisoned for the King and the upper part was destroyed in 1643.  The fabric was restored at the end of hostilities.
