St Mary's church from the south |
Here you see the central bell turret which rises over the end of the nave. This striking turret has been claimed to be 13th century, though styllistically it may be part of Victorian restoration work on the church. |
Table tomb in the churchyard. This style of tomb was common in the 18th century. |
The north door is late Norman, around 1170 AD, and is, with the south door, the oldest part of the church. |
Within the south porch is this medieval coffin lid depicting a knight in armour beneath a canopy |
The south door, which dates to about 1170 AD. |
On either side of the south door is a carved dragon head. Though the carving is Norman, the style is very similar to earlie Saxon design. |
The easternmost of the two carved dragon heads that flank the south door. |
The chancel arch. This is 13th century work, with beautifully carved mouldings. |
Sttained glass windows in the south aisle cast a rainbow cascade of ligt on the 13th century moulding of the chancel arch. |
In the north chapel stands this carved oak shield upon a twisted post, bearing a coat of arms and the date 1704. |
A fragmentary remain of a medieval wall painting depicting a Virgin and Child. |
