St Edward's Church stands at the north end of the market square and dates from the 11th century, though the tower was completed in 1447 and the building has been added to and altered ever since. The interior is spacious for a Cotswold town church, with a 14th-century truss-rafter roof and a Crucifixion painting attributed to the Flemish painter Gaspar de Craeyer.
The most photographed feature is the north door, framed by two ancient yew trees whose trunks have grown to either side of the doorway over centuries — an image that has become emblematic of the whole town. The tower holds eight bells, reputedly the heaviest ring of bells in Gloucestershire. The church contains memorials to those who died in the 1646 battle and in both world wars.
