Holyrood Church was built in 1320 as one of five churches to serve the old walled town of Southampton. After the church was destroyed by enemy bombing during the Blitz in November 1940, the ruins were preserved as a memorial to the sailors of the Merchant Navy.

*Holyrood Church*

The church originally stood somewhere else, was then demolished and rebuilt on this site in 1320.
The church was destroyed during the Second World War.
In 1957, the ruins of the church were restored and dedicated as a monument to merchant navy sailors.
In 2004 the church was in danger of collapsing. It was extensively restored.
Inside the church, under the tower, there is a memorial fountain built in 1912-13 for those who lost their lives in the sinking of the Titanic.
The fountain rests on four stone columns and has a curved pediment on each side with carvings depicting the « Titanic » and a four-columned dome above.
