Holy Rood is to be open to the public for this walk as part of Heritage Open Days. All that remains of the original church at Holy Rood is the chancel. Now occasionally used as a chapel. Holy Rood, first recorded in 1154, served the small, pre-railway hilltop town of Swindon. By the 1840’s it was clear Holy Rood was inadequate for the growing population, and Sir George Gilbert Scott’s Christ Church was dedicated in 1851. In 1852 Holy Rood was demolished, apart from the chancel and a few pillars.
This walk is free of charge. You are invitied to make a small donation to UCare (Urology Cancer Research and Education) Oxford.
