Summary

Description
English: Church of St Mary the Virgin, Berkeley The Minster Church in Berkeley has many unusual and interesting features. One of the most obvious externally is that, as can be seen here, the church bell tower (the current one dating from 1753) is separate from the main body of the church. There are various stories as to why it was built this way however the most practical is that due to the main church's close proximity to Berkeley Castle this arrangement would prevent enemies using the church tower to fire in to the castle.
