Reading Minster, Church building in Reading, England
Reading Minster features Gothic architectural elements with stone walls, pointed arches, and a prominent tower reaching toward the sky on Chain Street.
The church establishment dates back to 1150, when it was transferred from Battle Abbey to Reading Abbey under the decree of King Henry I.
The Minster Choir performs musical worship during Sunday Eucharistic services in school terms, maintaining a tradition of religious musical expression.
The church holds two weekly Eucharistic services and provides daily prayer opportunities for visitors and local community members throughout the year.
Stones from the demolished Reading Abbey were integrated into the church structure during repairs in the 1550s, connecting two religious landmarks.
