Church Shop

Peter's Church. It's worth a visit if you're already spending time exploring the village centre, offering a relaxed alternative to typical high street shopping.

The stock reflects real local character—cards, books, and handcrafted items sit alongside gifts and keepsakes. Everything you purchase goes directly back to supporting the church's work in the village. Because locals shop here regularly, you get a genuine feel for village life rather than the staged atmosphere of a tourist-focused spot.

Stratton itself is compact and easy to navigate, so you could comfortably spend an hour or two wandering around before drifting into Cirencester, which is just a short walk or drive away. The shop works best as part of a broader visit to the area rather than a destination in itself, but it's genuinely rewarding if you're already nearby exploring the church or getting a sense of how the community functions. You'll find something meaningful to take away—whether that's a small souvenir of your time in the Cotswolds or a gift with actual substance behind it. It's the kind of place that gives staying in villages like Stratton its particular appeal: unhurried, purposeful, and connected to the real rhythms of where you're visiting.
