Fodor's Review:

At the top of Market Place is the magnificent Gothic parish church of St. John the Baptist, known as the cathedral of the "woolgothic" style. Its elaborate, three-tier, three-bay south porch, the largest in England, once served as the town hall. The chantry chapels and many coats of arms bear witness to the importance of the wool merchants, benefactors of the church. A rare example of a 15th-century wineglass pulpit sits in the nave.
