Abroad, no, normally we don't have time to linger as we only have a short time in any place. Also they are usually Catholic and Richard hates all the candles and altars etc so I sometimes go in my own if there's something interesting. And as you say the coolness is nice.
In this country, yes we do normally go inside and look at it, from an archaelogical point of view if you like as we share that interest and met on an archaeological site. We like to see how a building evolved and developed. Intensely practical and not very spiritual if at all - that's us! We also like churchyards.
