Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Octagonal font consisting of a bowl with Angels holding Shields and instruments of the passion. The church dates from the fourteenth century onwards, and was restored in 1867. There is a western tower with spire, nave with north and south aisles and clerestory, north and south porches and chancel. The tower is of two stages from circa 1340, it was remodelled in the early fifteenth century. There is a shallow west porch. The west window is fifteenth century, with windows on north and south sides also. There is a broached octagonal spire with four tiers of lucarnes on alternating sides. The tower is approximately 180 feet high. There are eight bells, plus a Sanctus bell. The north porch has two round towers which may come from a Castle or be in imitation of it. The nave has arcades with 14 bays having slender piers with polygonal bases and capitals. They appear to be mid 14th century, although some Norman bases have been found under the western piers. There is a clerestory of 14 two-light windows with battlements on the exterior. This dates from circa 1380. The chancel has a blocked south doorway, and 19th-century fittings. The nave roof is supported on 14th century stone corbel heads. There is a rood from 1930 by Wilfrid bond, and a pulpit was designed by Ewan Christian in 1872. |
