Reading Minster, also known as the Minster Church of St. Mary the Virgin, is a historic and serene church located in the heart of Reading. The building, with its origins dating back to the 7th century, exudes a sense of timeless spirituality. Its impressive Gothic architecture and peaceful interior offer a tranquil escape from the bustling town center. The stained glass windows, intricate carvings, and beautiful altar are highlights that showcase its rich history. While it’s smaller and less ornate than grander cathedrals, Reading Minster’s charm lies in its simplicity and deep connection to the local community. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and those seeking a quiet, reflective atmosphere.

Reading Minster, also known as St Mary's Church, boasts the title of Reading's oldest church, dating back to the 7th century. Though once overshadowed by Reading Abbey, it regained prominence after the abbey's dissolution. This Anglican parish church features Saxon origins and materials repurposed from the abbey, offering a unique blend of history and architecture. Today, it welcomes visitors for worship, events, and community engagement.

One of the most beautiful, historic and mysterious objects in Reading, Berkshire. Usually it’s closedown, but sometimes it’s open on Wednesday mornings. There’s a community of people who attend this church on a regular basis. You might be able to get in touch with them and maybe try to get in to see the beauty from the inside and lift up your spirit ❤️
