St Giles Church, Durham, Medieval church in Gilesgate, Durham, England
St Giles Church features a north nave wall from 1114, a twelfth-century chancel, and an early thirteenth-century tower with fifteenth-century modifications.
Bishop Ranulf Flambard established the church in 1112 as a chapel for the Kepier hospital, marking the beginning of its religious significance in Durham.
The church maintains regular worship services and holds ceremonies in its medieval interior, connecting present-day residents with centuries of religious traditions.
Visitors can access the Grade I listed building, which stands one kilometer east of Durham City center, through the main entrance on Gilesgate.
The church contains a medieval oak bell frame supporting three bells, with additional structural support added in 1964 to maintain this historical feature.
