| 説明 | There has been a church at this location since Norman times. The present exceptionally large (Grade l Listed) church was entirely rebuilt, probably between the years 1509-1533. It is in the architectural style of the late Perpendicular Gothic period. The presence of certain devices in the stonework, in particular the pomegranate device (the apple of Grenada) and the portcullis device (which appears on the Tudor royal Escutcheon) indicate that the church was built during the marriage of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, which ended in divorce during 1533.The plan of the church is typical for a parish church, consisting of nave and chancel with no transept. Considered large compared to other churches of the same style, the nave has a clerestory, lighted by five large three light windows on either side, and aisles with arcades of five arches each. These aisles open into what were chantry-chapels on either side of the chancel. The southern chantry-chapel still functions as such but the northern is used as a vestry and contains the organ. There is a tower at the western end which contains a peal of ten bells.The stained glass windows date from the Victorian restoration by Henry Woodyer, as does the external crenellation along the roof-line, and the pinnacles and turrets of the tower. There is a Jacobean Pulpit dating from 1607. |
