Holy Sepulchre London, formally known as Saint Sepulchre-without-Newgate, is the largest Anglican parish church in the City of London.
Situated at the top of Snow Hill on the north side of Holborn Viaduct by the crossroads next to the Old Bailey and within the Newgate Street Conservation Area, the church has medieval foundations.
The parish of St Sepulchre lies in the ward of Farringdon Without and includes Smithfield Market. In the Middle Ages the parish was outside ("without") the city wall, west of the City "New Gate".
Since 1950, Holy Sepulchre Church serves as home to the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Memorial Chapel, and the Musicians' Chapel since 1955, later being dubbed the National Musicians' Church.
The Musicians' Chapel displays a book of remembrance and holds a requiem in late autumn – unusual for Low Church Evangelicalism.
