Summary
[edit]DescriptionChurch of St. John The Baptist, Aldbury - geograph.org.uk - 1580370.jpg |
English: Church of St. John The Baptist, Aldbury. The church is an ancient structure in the early style of English architecture. Originally granted to Missenden Abbey in Buckinghamshire by William de Bocland in about 1200, from then until the Dissolution its patrons were the Abbot and Canons of then Abbey. By the end of the thirteenth century the Church had probably assumed most of the features seen today, although the tower is probably a fourteenth century addition. Much of the worn Totternhoe stonework has been replaced by Bath stone, both internally and externally.
The reredos, of marble and alabaster, dates from 1891; the Fresco above the chancel arch depicting St. John the Baptist preaching, dates from 1906; the organ is by Messrs Gray and Davidson (installed 1866); the font is Victorian. There are various memorials in the Church including to those who fell in the two World Wars; to the Anderson, Harcourt, Hyde and Craufurd familes; and in the Pendley Chapel 1579232 to Sir Robert Whittingham (slain in 1471 at the battle of Tewkesbury) and his Lady - and others buried in this tomb are Sir John Verney (d.1546), husband of Margaret and heir of Sir Robert Whittingham, his wife and his son Sir Ralph Verney and Anne his wife.
