Church of the Holy Cross, Grade I listed parish church in Daventry, England.
The Church of the Holy Cross is a parish church built in Georgian style with three aisles defined by wooden galleries running along them. Inside, visitors find an ornate pulpit and a three-part window with Venetian glass positioned above the altar.
The building was constructed between 1752 and 1758 by architects William and David Hiorne during the Georgian era. It represents one of the few intact churches from this period in the region.
The church has served as the heart of worship and community gatherings in Daventry since it opened. Today it continues to host regular services and local events that shape the town's social calendar.
The building is easy to reach and located in the center of Daventry, making it accessible without long travel times. Visitors should be aware that some interior areas require climbing stairs to access the gallery spaces.
It is the only eighteenth-century town church in Northamptonshire, built using local ironstone that gives it a distinctive appearance. This choice of material sets it apart from other churches built during the same period elsewhere.
