St Helen's Church looks out over St. Heln's Square towards the Mansion house. Historic indications show that a church has stood on this spot since the 12th century. It has a history of change and rebuild over the centuries until we see the wonderful building that now stands. It was the chapel for glass painters in mediaeval times. The area that is now St. Helen's Square was part of the churchyard. There is now a separate walled garden in Davygate where headstones from that churchyard can be viewed.
