Medieval stained glass in the east window >
Link. A figure depicting Christ as "The Man of Sorrows" exhibiting his wounds and wearing a crown of thorns >
Link can be seen in the central light. Some controversy exists regarding the identity of the flanking figures. It is thought that the figure to the left (seen here) is the Angel Gabriel (his head has been replaced) from an Annunciation scene, based on the fact that the scroll reads "(Ave Mar(ia) gracia plena Dominus tec(um)."
All Saints church >
Link -
Link has a round tower of Norman origins with a later bell stage. There were altogether four stages of building, re-building and renovations. The nave, as we see it now, was built between the 14th and 15th centuries when the clerestory was added. The red-brick porch is a 19th century addition and adjoining in the northwest is a 20th century octagonal meeting room >
Link. The church was extensively restored in the 19th century but the C15 font with 8 carved panels and 4 seated lions carved into the supporting stem remains, as do several panes of medieval glass which were reset in the east window. Although the pews were replaced during the 19th century restoration the carved poppy heads were retained and fixed to the ends of the new seating. The central figure depicts Christ the Man of Sorrows >
Link. Fragments of medieval glass can also be seen in some of the other windows >
Link. Sadly, this interesting church is kept vigilantly locked and can only be visited during (or shortly after) a service. For more information see:
