Britain's What's On Event Guide
Royston Parish Church Guided Tours
Heritage Open Day: Come and visit Royston Parish Church for a tour (either self-guided or with a local guide) to discover the history of a place where monks, residents and travellers along the Icknield Way and Ermine Street have prayed for over 850 years. The Parish Church of St John the Baptist in the town of Royston was built within a stone’s throw of the crossroads between the Icknield Way and Ermine Street and dates back to the 12th Century, when it was founded as an Augustinian Priory. Its location on the main route to and from major settlements such as Lincoln, York and Edinburgh means that travellers ranging from Kings and knights to highwaymen would have passed through Royston and many will have visited the church to pray.
