Holy Rood Church, Market Rasen

Holy Rood Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish church located on King Street in Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, England.

In 1824, a chapel in the Classical Nonconformist style popular for Catholic chapels of the time, was built by Edward James Willson, designed to seat 200 people.

In 1867, Father Algernon Moore, a convert from Anglicanism, commissioned side aisles and a tower to be built in red brick, which was designed by Hadfield and Son who were based in Sheffield.

[2] Elton John's lyric writing partner and longtime friend Bernie Taupin was an altar boy and eventually married his first wife Maxine Feibelman there in 1971.

[3] The church contains three medieval vestments said to date from 1390 to 1420, making them late examples of Opus Anglicanum.
