Church of the Holy Cross, Avening, Grade I listed church in Avening, England.
The Church of the Holy Cross features a cruciform layout with a central tower, transepts, and a north aisle containing medieval architectural elements throughout its structure.
Queen Matilda of Flanders, wife of William the Conqueror, commissioned the construction of this church in the late eleventh century, establishing its royal connection.
The interior houses numerous medieval monuments, including a wall memorial to Henry Bridges from 1615 and a communion table from 1657.
