Fodor's Review:

The soaring pinnacled tower of St. James, a prime example of a Cotswold wool church (rebuilt in the 15th century with money from wool merchants), announces the town from a distance; it's worth stepping inside to see the lofty nave. It recalls the old saying, which became popular because of the vast numbers of houses of worship in the Cotswolds, "As sure as God's in Gloucestershire." Nearby, on Church Street, is an important row of almshouses dating from King James I's reign.
