Located on Winkle Street in Southampton, the chapel was founded about 1197 as part of a Leper's hospital and a hostel for travelers to Canterbury. Since the 16th century, the church as been used, with the permission of Queen Elizabeth I, by the French Protestants, thus it is also known as the "French Church." Services, that were spoken in French, were discontinued in 1939. The church has sitting for 200 people. In error, the church is sometimes referred in documents as "St Julian's" but maps and surveys prove it is St. Julien's. Inside the church is the Leper's Squint Stoup Monument commemorating those were executed in the Southampton Plot of 1415. The monument is believed to have been placed in the 19th century. The church building is privately owned but guided tours are offered. Today, there is no churchyard burial ground associated with the church although documents list people as being buried in the churchyard hundreds of years ago. There are at least four remains buried in the floor of the church with one having an inlaid-slab granite marker with no name but a female figure engraved on it. The church building has a Grade 1 ranking for the English Heritage of Risk Register.
