St Helen's Church

Tall island church built above a much older sacred and burial site.

St Helen's Church looks oversized for Lundy's tiny settlement, which is part of its charm. The current building is Victorian, but the site has a much older religious and burial history.

Step inside if it is open, then look back from outside at how the tower sits against the empty island. On Lundy, even a church becomes part landmark, part weather gauge.
