| Description |
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the oldest-standing building in Northampton, dating from 1100. It is modelled on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem and is one of only four round churches in England, built by Simon de Senlis, on his return from the Crusades. From the outside the church appears as a 19th century rebuild, but stepping inside, an eight sided building with a circular nave at its centre is revealed. The great space rises up three floors with a marvellous wooden beamed ceiling above. The Soldiers’ Chapel contains militaria and recently underwent a £40,000 conservation project. |
