Our History
S. Giles is one of the three mediaeval parish churches in the town centre of Reading, the County Town of Berkshire. Reading itself is notable for its Abbey, founded by Henry 1 in 1121, which became one of the largest and most important in England. It was dissolved by Henry VIII and on 14 November 1539 the Abbot and a small group of supporters which included a Vicar of S. Giles, John Eynon, were executed for refusing to acknowledge the King as Head of the Church in England.
