St John the Baptist

	The church of St John the Baptist is constructed of the local red sandstone

At one time the cathedral for Chester, St John's has come down in the world and yet remains a fascinating old building. Mentioned as a monastery in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, home for a time to Mrs de Quincy, ruined at both ends of the building, it nonetheless contains a wealth of interest for the visitor.

However St John's is still a living church and the clergy are extremely friendly and welcoming. I do hope that this film will awaken your interest. Do pop in and visit the church and add your prayers to those that have been offered there for 1,300 years. Better still, if you live in Chester, why not join the friendly congregation on a regular basis?
