Until the sixteenth century this was one of three churches in the city named after Helena, purported founder of the Church of Nativity at Bethlehem, and mother of Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor. Alteration and restoration over the years disguise much of the original Norman foundations. Some of the magnificent arches date back to fourteenth century. The west window of the north aisle houses medieval glass, depicting a Bluecoat Boy from the sixteenth century, whilst the east window is nineteenth century, with panels thought to be Dutch. The church is open each day, Tues-Sat. Services: Sung Eucharist, Sunday 9am. Holy Eucharist, Thurs 12.15pm
