Britain's What's On Event Guide
St John the Baptist, St John's Street, Winchester
Heritage Open Day: Winchester's oldest parish church, St John's, built in the 12th century, is situated on the ancient Pilgrim's Way between Winchester and Canterbury. Described by Sir John Betjeman as ‘a gem'. Come and admire its medieval simplicity and beauty. St John's is a Grade I listed building mentioned by Pevsner. Among our many treasures are some 13th century wall paintings and a wonderful 18th century chandelier.
During this year's event, we will be displaying our Elizabethan Turret Clock, which is currently awaiting restoration. Come and learn about its history at St John's, how it would have worked despite having no clockface, and our future plans for its return to being a fully working demonstration piece.
During the day stewards will be available to talk about the history of the church and the Turret Clock. There will also be a printed guide available.
