Built in 1320, this beautiful church was destroyed by enemy bombing during the blitz in November 1940

A ruined church that contains merchant navy memorials.

Lovely old church and information

The church was build in the 13th century and bombed by the Germans in 1940.There is a memorial dedicated to the people who were killed.The church was known locally as a sailors church.There's also a memorial to the RMS Titanic,and several more,including the Falkland's War in 1982.Well worth a visit.The area the church is in was heavily bombed in the second world war.Peaceful now.

Holyrood Church dates from 1320. This Anglican Church took a direct hit during the Blitz in 1940 but the clock tower remained standing. The ruins of the church were restored in 1957 and dedicated as a memorial to Merchant Navy seafarers. Worth a look if you're in the vicinity.

I’m quietly taken aback by the long history and significance of this church. For the past and present I stood in silence and paid my respects. I would like to have seen more than just a plaque to commemorate the recent Falklands anniversary. Perhaps a statue of some sort.

Very pretty church there are nice plaques discussing historical facts. I love how you can just walk in quite nice when exploring the city

Perfect place for meditation on a sunny day. Alas, the tower clock is currently stopped and the quarter jacks are not striking.

A very well kept and beautiful bomb damaged church.

An open air monument to maritime workers. Originally a church, it suffered a lot of damage in the 1940s bombings. There are no access restrictions / tickets to buy.

The church of Holyrood erected on this site in 1320 was damaged by enemy action on 30 Nov 1940. Known for centuries as the church of the sailors the ruins have been preserved by the people of Southampton as a memorial and garden of rest, dedicated to those who served in the Merchant Navy and lost their lives at sea. - Wiki

Must see this awesome ruin surrounded by all the bars and life.

Memorable place

Visited during music in the city and was nice venue for that apart from street noise at some times. Very nice place for contemplation as memorials adorn the walls

I don't know the history of this church, but is a beautiful place to visit in Southampton. It's actually "what's left" of a church, but has some nice details like a tree with red colors and an interior square that's completely a relaxing and unique place.

Saving and remembering their people.

Nice place to sit for a quite evening.

So nice. Loved it. Must see.
