Britain's What's On Event Guide
St Helen's Church
Heritage Open Day: Come and visit Abingdon’s iconic ancient parish church with its beautiful architecture and many treasures. There has been a church on the site since the C10th or earlier. The present church dates from the C13th but over 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.
For Heritage Weekend we will have special exhibitions about the people who work and worked here over hundreds of years.
On Saturday 19th we will also have:
• Visits to the bell tower, regular tours in small groups from 2pm to 4pm.
