Description: St Crux Church built in 1697, with its distinctive Italianate tower, no longer exists. The only remaining clue is this little church hall at the bottom of the Shambles. Inside, you can view the monuments from the original church. Opinion of St Crux’s tower declined over the years and in the Victorian era it was considered “unsightly”. It became unsafe, and despite some objections from the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings, the church was finally demolished in 1887.
