Church of St Nicholas, Standish

Highlight • Historical Site

The church is built of ashlar with Cotswold stone roofs. Except for the south vestry, formerly a porch, the whole church was build in the early 14th century. As a mother church of a large parish that once included Hardwicke, Randwick and Saul and as a church that belonged to Gloucester Abbey, Standish church is likely to have been built many years before the first known reference to it c.1188.

Stroudwater Navigation

Highlight • Trail

A charming route into or through Stroud that avoids the traffic. You need to take it steady as it can get narrow in placesand there are always plenty of walkers. It is mostly OK for all bikes, but can get a little muddy and slippery in winter in places, so might be best avoided on narrow tyres at such times.
