England Made Me

All about England

The official name of this church is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, although it is more commonly referred to as the Round Church. It is located on Bridge Street, in the town centre.

The Round church is open daily, but hours vary according to season so do check in advance. Admission is free.

The church dates from the 12th century, when it was built in honour of the original church of the same name in Jerusalem. Some parts of the original church remain, although the roof is a fairly recent 19th century addition.

The round design of the church is extremely rare for there are only four like it in the whole of the UK, and of those four, this one is the oldest.

Today it no longer serves as a parish church, but houses an excellent brass rubbing centre where you can learn the centuries old art.
