Holy Rood Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish church located on King Street in Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, England. The church dates from the 19th century.
History of the church
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]
Notable people
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. John was the best man at the wedding.[3]
The Sixhills vestments
The church contains three medieval vestments said to date from 1390 to 1420, making them late examples of Opus Anglicanum. They are composed of medieval orphreys, mounted on a modern cope and two chasubles which came from the medieval Gilbertine priory at Sixhills.[4]
