Description
The Church of St Sepulchre, located on Holborn Viaduct, dates from the mid-15th century and late 17th century, with later alterations and refacings. The building is approximately rectangular, featuring continuous aisles to both the nave and chancel. St Stephen's Chapel projects to the north, while a three-storey porch is situated to the south. The stone walls, which have been variously repaired and refaced, are original and include late 17th-century classical arcades with seven bays and an east window. The plaster ceilings were reconstructed in 1837. Inside, there are numerous monuments, an organ case from 1677, a reredos, and carved woodwork. A 17th-century sundial is located on the south side, and there is an 18th-century wrought iron gate leading to the porch. The vestries to the northeast are partially based on a design dated 1791, although they were reconstructed in 1962 and feature Venetian windows. Attached to the east wall is a memorial bust of Charles Lamb, which was removed from Christchurch, Newgate Street.
