St Helen's Church
St Helen's Church, the principal parish church of Abingdon, was
first mentioned in 995. The present church dates from the 13th
century and was built to serve the townsfolk of Abingdon. In the
15th and 16th centuries the church was enlarged and there are
now five aisles - it is the second widest church in England and
is wider than it is long. The beautiful painted ceiling dates
from the end of the 14th century.
