Reviews of Holy Sepulchre Church
G. L.It is a must for all serious musicians to visit this beautiful church where Henry Wood the founder of the Proms has his monument. I have played the organ in a concert and there is a side chapel dedicated to many famous musicians. The place is outstanding.
H. S.Great church a hidden gem, inside is an area dedicated to the English Rifles..... well worth a visit.
E. A.Beautiful church. There often have free lectures and you can attend without reservations.
J. O.Beautiful and welcoming church. Offers a range of services which are open to all - but equally a great place for a wander and some quiet contemplation. Impressive architecture and a number of interesting artefacts.
B. R.An interesting building and an active worshipping community.
B. F.Beautiful Grade I listed gothic church restored by Christopher Wren after the great fire of London.
F. A.I enjoy the Tuesday Services. The church also hosts a lot of musical recitals. I'd definitely recommend if you are in the St Paul's, Farringdon area and want a quiet place to worship and pray.
A. d. B. W.It is the lasting Memorial to so many famous musicians, including Sir Henry Wood & my mother, Violinist, Enid Berridge, who led his orchestra when a student at the RAM in the 1920's, and many more! The Memorial Services held there are so beautifully sung twice a year.
T. Y.This is a 15th century church that survived the Great Fire of London and is perhaps best known for the “bells of Old Bailey” mentioned in the nursery rhyme ("Oranges and Lemons"). Unfortunately, it was locked when we visited, with no indication of opening hours.
B.Went to an epic carol service here! Beautiful choir and the inside is quite lovely with a coffered ceiling! It doesn’t look particularly medieval from the outside but the interior is great
J. S.Grade 1 listed. Was originally a Saxon Church dedicated to St Edmund The King and Martyr.
In 1137 it was given to the Priory of St Bart's.
During the 12th century during The Crusades it was renamed St Edmund and the Holy Sepulchre's in Jerusalem. Over time it was shortened.
Although now considered to be in the City, it stood just outside of the now demolished medieval city walls near Newgate. Because of this it is also known as St Sepulchre's Without Newgate. It is now part of the Newgate Street Conservation Area.
During the 15th century it was rebuilt and reopened in 1670.
It has a Gothic tower which houses 12 bells. Known in the nursery rhyme Oranges and Lemons as The Bells of Old Bailey. They were originally rung the night before condemned prisoners were due to be executed at Newgate Prison and again in the morning when they were led to the gallows either at Newgate or Tyburn in Westminster. During the 1800's a secret tunnel from the courts and the prison was made into the church to lead notorious criminals to their death away from the eyes of the rowdy crowds of onlookers.
The interior is from 1834. Has a chequered black and white floor. With mahoosive white columns which hold up the coffered ceiling.
The North Isle is dominated by a mahoosive black and gold piped organ from 1670.
Has a Musicians Chapel with 4 windows dedicated to Sir Henry Wood, John Ireland, Dame Nellie Melba and Walter Carroll.
Set within the ornate perimeter railings and sat atop of the perimeter wall, is London's 1st drinking fountain erected 1859. Complete with 2 wee chained cups within it's basin and a shell above from which the water used to emerge. Unfortunately, it's no longer in working order. It was placed there to discourage Londoners from imbibing in alcohol.
In close proximity to Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey), Bart's Pathology Museum, Temple Church, Museum of London, Barbican, St Paul's Cathedral, The Golden Boy of Pye Corner, The River Thames, The Millennium Bridge etc.
Nearest stations are Temple, Blackfriars, Mansion House, St Paul's, Barbican, and City Thameslink.
A. P.A majestic city church with fascinating "Musicians Chapel" with memorials to Sir Henry Wood (Proms Concerts) John Ireland and Dame Nellie Melba. Also the home of the Royal Fusiliers Chapel and some especially rewarding stained glass
P. H.Highly recommend a visit to this church just by St Pauls and the Old Bailey, if your out visiting the sites of London
Interestingly it is the Church of the Royal Hussars and houses a great deal of their regimental items, including may campaign flags and colours
There are many memorials and commendations also on display
Well worth dropping in while taking in the sights
A. K.The bell does not have a pleasant history. It was used for centuries to mark the execution of offenders at Newgate prison (which is no longer in existence today). The bell is also known as the Newgate execution bell and is kept in a glass case in the nave of St Sepulchre-without-Newgate church.
I. G.A beautiful church with wonderful stained glass windows and a huge imposing church organ. There are often exhibitions and concerts at lunchtimes.
H. M.It's a nice place in the City centre, warm and welcoming, with amazing choral worship Tuesday's evening and contemporary worship Tuesday's lunch time.
L. G.A very interesting house of worship with a very historical past. this is also the burial spot of Captain John Smith Jamestown colony fame.

M. M.(Translated) The church's solid does not refer to the Jerusalem church, but it was originally a church under a different call. Currently, it does not make a big impression but it has a bit of flavor for experts, rather local history.
(Original)
Bryła kościoła nie nawiązuje do jerozolimskiego kościoła, ale pierwotnie był to kościół pod innym wezwaniem. Obecnie nie robi wielkiego wrażenia ale ma w sobie nieco smaczków dla znawców, raczej lokalnej historii.
