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. It is situated in the middle of what was previously the site of a 4th century Romano-British cemetery. Among our many treasures are 13th century wall paintings, including a depiction of the devil's head, huge medieval tie beams forming part of the roof structure and a large and intricate south window with surviving 13th century stonework.
During this year's event, we will be displaying our recently restored Elizabethan Turret Clock.
