Benchmark on St Sepulchre's Church
This bench mark was established in 1852 during the First primary levelling of England & Wales, and was levelled with a height of 273.9790 feet [83.5088 metres] above mean sea level (Liverpool datum). It was included as a side level on the Towcester to King's Lynn levelling line. The surveyor's description was "No. 34(b). St Sepulchre's Church. Bolt in South-west angle of tower ; 1.85 ft. above surface" (Public Abstract p.310). The 1887 map shows this benchmark on the west face of the church, just south of the main entrance. It is rather small for a 19th-century mark, but of similar size to others nearby.

Church of the Holy Sepulchre
The spire of the Church.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the best preserved of only four remaining circular churches in England built by returning Crusaders on the model of Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre Church.
It was begun in 1100 by Simon de St. Liz, the First Earl of Northampton, probably in thanks for the success of the First Crusade and his own safe return.
It originally consisted only of the circular nave and a small chancel. A north chapel was added around 1200 and tower in the 15th. century. The building was further enlarged to its present form in the 1860's.
(Information from a plaque by the main gate placed by Northampton Borough Council in 1988)
The building is Grade I listed. http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-232217-church-of-the-holy-sepulchre-northampton
