Church Open Days

Every Saturday at for 2 hours
Church Of The Holy Sepulchre
Sheep Street/Church Lane Northampton, NN1 3NL, United Kingdom

Our Medieval Round Church has been welcoming visitors since 1100 AD and in 2024 she is set to fling open her doors again.

On Saturdays afternoons from 2pm-4pm from May to September, visitors can learn all about this fascinating church and the historic treasures she contains.

If only these walls could talk, I wonder what they would say? For the moment we will let our historians do the talking.

The Holy Sepulchre is the oldest building in Northampton, surviving the great fire, one of only four medieval round churches in the U.K., and has the longest aisle in Northampton.

Historic battles have taken place here, famous people have been married here and royalty has visited.

The stained glass is beautiful, the Soldier’s Chapel delightful and the stories even more intriguing.

Join our volunteers and historians every Saturday from May to September to find out more.

DATES:

Every Saturday from May 4th until 7th September. 2pm-4pm.

WHERE:

Holy Sepulchre Church Hall, Church Lane, Northampton NN1 3NL.

Church Of The Holy Sepulchre

Holy Sepulchre has been welcoming worshippers and visitors in Northampton since 1100AD.

While we love our building we recognize that the church community is more than a building and our services, events, and groups all aim to bring people together.

As a registered Inclusive Church we welcome all people regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, mental or physical abilities, or financial or social status. We fully support the ministry of women as deacons, priests, and bishops.

Services are usually followed by tea, coffee and biscuits in the adjacent Community Room.

We also know that attending a church for the first time can be a little nerve-wracking and daunting too. For this reason we have a community manager whose job it is to answer any of your questions, meet you before service, escort you into the building, introduce you to others and walk you through how we worship here. We want you to feel cared for here and not allow nerves or worries to get in the way of your worship. Just e-mail roundchurchnorthampton.co.uk and we can start chatting.

Similarly, if you want to attend but getting here is a challenge, e-mail as we might be able to help.
