St Helen's Church, Wheathampstead
St Helen's Church, Wheathampstead, Medieval church in Wheathampstead, England
The church structure combines flint rubble walls with Totternhoe stone and limestone dressings, featuring a central tower from 1290 and triple lancet windows.
The building evolved from a Saxon wooden structure, with major construction phases occurring in 1238 when the chancel was extended and rebuilt under Norman influence.
The north transept houses a Jacobean screen, pulpit, and medieval reredos from 1330, displaying the craftsmanship of the Macry family stoneworkers.
Located on High Street in Wheathampstead, the church holds regular Sunday services at 10am, with additional parking available at East Lane car park.
The northwest corner of the churchyard contains the tomb of Antarctic explorer Apsley Cherry-Garrard, who participated in Robert Falcon Scott's 1911 South Pole expedition.
