The Church of St Sepulchre without Newgate = Part 1. See description.

Описание: Join me for a tour of the Church of St Sepulchre without Newgate, on Holborn Viaduct in London. Wednesday 18th January 2023. A fascinating & beautiful church "with its historical links as The spiritual home of The Royal Fusiliers (London Regiment)" + its historical link as "The parish church that once served the notorious Newgate Prison."

In part 1 = we cover arrival & a little of the exterior of the church. Then make our way inside = & its history + beautiful architecture & stained glass, all the way!! Of my favourite, was the Guardsmans stained glass window - & the notorious Newgate Prison Execution Bell "that grisly little bit of London's darker past, is well covered in our tour."

(History of the Church)

Holy Sepulchre London, formerly and in some official uses Saint Sepulchre-without-Newgate, is the largest Anglican parish church in the City of London. It stands on the north side of Holborn Viaduct across a crossroads from the Old Bailey, and its parish takes in Smithfield Market. During medieval times, the site lay outside ("without") the city wall, west of the Newgate.

It houses London's musicians' chapel in which a book of remembrance sits and an October/November requiem takes place – unusual for a church associated with Low Church Evangelicalism. The church has two local army regiment memorials.

The vicar is appointed by St John's College, Oxford, which has held the church's patronage since 1622.
