"The church of the Holy Sepulchre, in Bridge street, commonly known as "the round
church," and the oldest of the four round churches in England, is a building of the
Norman period, erected about 1101, and consists of the circular portion, which forms
the principal entrance to the church, chancel with aisles and an octagonal embattled
turret on the north side containing 2 bells: the round part is constructed of large
stones, carefully squared, and has a good Norman doorway enriched with zigzag ornament:
the interior displays a circular arcade of eight short but massive columns without
bases, supporting a clerestory from which springs a vaulted conical roof: since 1845
the church has been restored by the Camden Society, and the Perpendicular insertions
replaced by windows in the Norman style, the embattled; tower, which had been reared
above the circular clerestory, removed, a bell turret erected and the eastern part
rebuilt: the east window is stained: the organ, erected by public subscription in
1857, was replaced in 1870 by a larger instrument: there are 295 sittings, of which
140 are free. The register dates from the year 1575. The living is a vicarage, net
yearly value £185; including 40 acres of glebe, in the gift of the parishioners,
and held since 1894 by the Rev. Percy Riddell Allnutt M.A. of Pembroke College, Cambridge."
