Church Open Day:  Saturday 26th June
10.00am to 4.00pm




Guided tours will be available or
you can walk round the church in your own time.

This magnificent Grade I Listed Building
- commenced over 900 years ago -
has been fully restored over the past 27 years.
It is the oldest standing building in Northampton
and 'the Round'
(based on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem)
is the largest and best preserved
of the Round Churches in this country.


Holy Sepulchre is also 'The Forces Church for Northamptonshire'.

Holy Sepulchre used to be the Garrison Church of
The Northamptonshire Regiment
and it holds the main memorials to about 9000 men who gave their lives in the wars from the 19th century onwards.
Some of the superb stained glass windows are simply amazing - especially the huge 'Battle Window'

Detail of King Richard I



We also have two William Morris windows.
