About the Event
Step inside the hidden treasure that is the former St. Mary's church - a rare opportunity to explore this magnificent space usually closed to the public.
This Grade I listed sanctuary holds secrets waiting to be discovered. Marvel at the intricate medieval roof with its decorative bosses, and wander among an extraordinary collection of 72 monuments and cenotaphs spanning four centuries of history, from the 1500s to the 1900s. Among these silent guardians of memory stands the notable Gamul tomb, testament to the families and stories that have shaped this sacred space.
