While taking a tour round a church may not be everybody's cup of tea, St. John the Baptist is an absolutely delightful find. My friend, boyfriend and I were having a day out in Chester and I suggested heading in, as it was a place I'd always passed but never visited.



The three of us were offered a free tour by a friendly guide. He filled us in on the in-depth history of the church, from its Saxon origins to hidden medieval features like a hidden stairwell in a 12th century arch. The tour was incredibly informative and concise, and revealed so many hidden treasures you would simply miss if you walked around unguided.



Even if, like myself, you aren't religious, and just adore history and architecture, a quick trip around St. John's is a brilliant addition to your afternoon.
