It is a Saxon/Norman foundation largely rebuilt in 1843 with original arches and columns reinstated. This prominent building in Biggin Street, dating from Saxon times, was built originally by the secular canons of St. Martin Le Grand, but was rebuilt by the Normans. At the Dissolution, it was saved from demolition when Henry VIII granted it for use as a parish and civic church. Unfortunately, because of its weak foundations, it was rebuilt in 1843, although its original arches and columns were reinstated. The magnificent tower survived this restoration. Explore and learn the history and life of this 800-year-old church. Visit the belfry and learn of the art of English change ringing. Teas and coffees will be available... READ MORE>
