Saint Giles Church Reading
S Giles Church, Southampton Street, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 2SB
View one of the three medieval churches in Reading. In 1191 Pope Clement III gave the church to Reading Abbey and throughout the Middle Ages, it enjoyed the right of sanctuary. During the Civil Wars of the 17th century, S. Giles tower was garrisoned for the King and the upper part was destroyed in1643. Today you will see a flourishing Parish Church re-built in 1872 in the Gothic style along with some more modern features too.
