On entering the church there are two immediately apparent features. Firstly, the brass chandelier is 18th century. (1790) We still enjoy its occasional use - at Christmas. The chandelier is suspended from our second main feature, the roof of the nave which is a plain one of three bays with trussed rafters and tie beams. The rafters were enclosed before the 1862 restoration, and on closer inspection the nail marks remain clearly visible. Running above the windows of the south aisle is an example of the cornice board work to be found in the church. Look to the lower right for the Quatrefoil ('four leaved') carved wooden frieze. The cracking and slightly irregular carving suggest a late medieval date Before examining the church architecture it is well worth reviewing the various stained glass windows to be found within the church. |
