St. John the Baptist

St. John the Baptist Review

At the top of Market Place is this magnificent Gothic parish church, 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 as benefactors of the church. A rare example of a 15th-century wineglass pulpit sits in the nave.
