Taunton Minster (St Mary Magdalene Church)

Visited here today during a trip to Taunton. Extremely welcoming without being overbearing lady greeted us and gave us a brief overview of the building. No pressure to donated upon entry. Coffee area and small gift shop inside the church. Stunning stained glass windows with wonderful detail. The wooden ceiling with angels each holding a different shield was a beautiful piece of art work in its own right. We were then invited to view via remote video link peregrine’s who were sitting on four eggs in a nest on top of the tower!..overall well worth a visit. Disability access throughout and disabled toilets / gender neutral toilet available. Parking could be in a public car park close to the church but this is quite small so I expect would fill up quickly so other public car park/s might need to be used. Pleasing grounds which are well kept around the building

Superb church with great shop cafe and a friendly ear.Currently hosting till the 31st March 2022 the museum of the moon.This is an inflatable 6m wide moon created from thousands of photos. You get to see the dark side of the moon. A must to see whilst it lasts

Beautiful church. There's a cafe and they hold different clubs there. Went to the choral society concert which was amazing, so talented! They had a small bar serving wines and beers which was lovely, very festive!

Historic church with well regarded history of social care. Now has the honorific title of Taunton Minster. ps... I sang in the choir from around 1967 to 1970. My reason for this visit was to view the 6.5 metre representation of the moon in all her glory.

First time visit to see the Moon art piece. Lovely building. Surprised to see a cafe inside! There are peregrine falcons that nest in the tower. And can be seen on webcam.

Beautiful building and the inside is amazing need to see it for yourself to appreciate how nice it is.

Attended concert. View restricted if not in main aisle . Accoustics good . Mic system poor . Pews hard for 3 hours ... take a cushion !

Beautiful church in the centre of Taunton set within beautiful grounds
