The Holy Sepulchre, Northampton, Norman round church in Northampton, England

The Holy Sepulchre features an eight-pillared round nave with three floors, supporting a clerestory that replaced the original triforium structure.

Simon de Senlis, Earl of Northampton, constructed this church around 1100 after returning from the First Crusade, inspired by Jerusalem's architecture.

The Soldiers Chapel contains memorials to over 6000 Northamptonshire soldiers who served in both World Wars, preserving local military heritage.

The church provides accessible facilities including ramps upon request, restrooms, and parking spaces within 250 meters of the entrance.

Among the four remaining medieval round churches in England, this structure stands out with its combination of Norman and later architectural elements.
