Darker Months opening times

Our Medieval Round Church has been welcoming visitors since 1100 AD and this year she will also stay open from Oct-April.

If only these walls could talk, I wonder what they would say?

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 on the dates below to find out more.

During the winter we open the church for self guided tours most Tuesdays between 12 noon and 2pm and one Saturday every month.

A few things to note:

Please e-mail hello@holysepulchre.co.uk or call and leave a message on 01604 627988 to check the opening times before travelling. We are a small group of volunteers and sometimes things chance at the last minute.

Please come wrapped up, as the church can be very cold in the winter.

If you would like a tour with one of our historians please contact tours@holysepulchre.co.uk as they are not normally at open days in the winter months.

Entrance can sometimes be organised at other times so please e-mail us to see if we can arrange something.
