Not to be missed on a visit to Chester; this is the city's oldest church and was its first cathedral. Its history spans 900 years. Some of the church lies in ruins outside while the building that remains is home to relics from Anglo-Saxon and Viking times, an ancient fresco and the cathedral that was used for Queen Victoria's coronation. You can enjoy a mug of tea and a sandwich, browse the second hand books and crafts that are on sale and, between May and October, there is a free recital of beautiful music at 1pm every Wednesday. Above all, I felt very warmly welcomed

The church stands next to the Roman amphitheater. A remarkable and romantic survivor . It was interesting to find out that the first English King Edgar was recognised here as paramount ruler .

This stunning building attracted our attention as soon as we laid eyes on it, what with the elegant and impressive clock tower or the impressive ruins. This place is packed with history and interesting facts, which can be found on plaques around the grounds, and an absolute must-see for anyone visiting the area.
The church’s interior was breathtaking, with the majestic domed roof and excellent exhibitions of statues and engraved stones. Additionally, you can find a gift shop, bookshop and café on one side of the church which is ran by a group of lovely and welcoming staff. Café prices are very reasonable, around £1 for drinks and £1-£2 for something nice to eat.
Overall, very nice place to visit, especially nice if you get caught in a sudden change of weather.

Combined with the amphitheatre, this is a must visit. It sells itself and its history quite remarkable. Note 14th century wall painting.
A word of praise too for the warm welcome we received.

What a beautiful Church ( Cathedral ), so much more welcoming than the "newer" Cathedral in the city centre, we even had the privilege of chatting to Fr. David Chesters OBE, what a nice guy. well worth a visit. Don't forget to leave a donation !.

The church itself is rather pretty and a reasonable size. The staff in the little gift shop/cafe were incredibly warm and friendly.
I personally found the ruins stunning as for ruins they are quite intact and you can walk around very freely. This site is free to visit, however donations are suggested to maintain the upkeep of the church and so on.

What I liked about the ruins of St John the Baptist Church was that there were plenty of signs explaining everything to the passersby. This made learning about its history easier. It is well worth the time to walk around and is mostly accessible by strollers or wheelchairs. Time well spent.

The outside ruins are dramatic and with excellent signage. The church itself is very interesting. Beautiful windows, columns and more. I liked the story I was told about the great organ's trip to Westminster Abbey for Queen Victoria's coronation.

The ruins are the old cathedral built in 7th centruy but obviously the main church is newer. Fresco of St John, when explained by one of the volunteer guide is fascinating

Hi Andrea, we actually caught the park and ride from Chester zoo. As you will possibly know, living in Eastham, Chester can be a nightmare for parking and expensive too. Alternatively you can catch the train into Chester from Hooton or Bromborough
