The most remarkable of the few central-plan buildings in England is the round church of the Holy Sepulchre in Cambridge, which was begun around 1120. It is a copy of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Eight round pillars surround a central space which is roofed, via unvaulted galleries and round arch windows, by an eight-section dome. The photo shows a view from the west. View the ground plan and cross-section of the Holy Sepulchre, Cambridge. | |
