15th Century nave with original oak roof completed around 1445; 16th century choir completed in 1555. Much beautiful stained glass largely 19th and 20th century. Largest romantic organ in the country. It is the only parish church other than Westminster Abbey which is still in use in which a coronation has taken place. On 29th July, 1567, James, son of Mary, Queen of Scots was crowned James VI of Scotland (later to be also James 1 of England) on the forced abdication of his mother. The church is open to visitors from 11am to 4pm over Easter and then seven days a week from 1 May until the end of September, and for worship on Sunday at the appropriate times. Over 50,000 visitors from more than 60 countries visited in in 2014. A brief history of the church is available for visitors in 84 languages. This is our specialist ministry.
