Not sure what to write as a experience, if you like and enjoy your history you'll be visiting this place and you should. The church itself is very well looked after and a must visit.

Very pretty church with lots of history and wonderful strained glass and carvings. Well worth the beautiful walk along the river through the RSC gardens. The entrance is free to the main church, but a £4 fee is charged for the choir area with the final resting place of William Shakespeare.
