St Helen's Church

Heritage Open Day: Come and discover the magnificent architecture and hidden treasures of Abingdon’s iconic ancient parish church. There has been a church on the site since the 10th century or earlier. The present church dates from the 13th century but over the subsequent centuries several aisles were added by bequests from local guilds and families so that, unusually, it is now considerably wider than it is long. The panorama of stained glass windows is lovely but the church's most special feature is the very rare ceiling paintings in the 14th century Lady Chapel.

On Saturday 13 September the church will be open from 10.00am to 6pm. Join us for:
• Refreshments: bacon butties from 10.30 to 2; teas, coffees and cake served throughout the day to 4pm.
