| 説明 | The church is a fine example of a late perpendicular church with clerestoried nave and chancel which was built on the site of an earlier church between 1460 and 1495.The western bays of the nave have remnants of fourteenth century piers from the earlier church.The western tower was built around an older tower in 1903.The exterior of the church is built with a pattern of knapped flint and limestone. Running the length of the south side is an inscription requesting prayers for the souls of those associated with the building of the church.There are 18 clerestory windows each side corresponding to 14 lower windows.The length of the church including the Lady Chapel is some 250 feet.The nave has nine bay arcades, and the chancel bay. At the east end of the north aisle there is a Chapel The Clopton Chapel, where Sir William Clopton is buried, and further east The Clopton Chantry Chapel with the tomb of the founder John Clopton.The Clopton Chantry is a whole room east of the north aisle Chapel complete with fireplace. The tomb of John Clopton separates it from the sanctuary. Along the top of the wall there is a frieze and a cornice is painted with a poem by John Lydgate, “The vine of life” in Old English.At the east end of the church there is a separate Lady Chapel which has a central area surrounded by an ambulatory, the altar having a solid east wall behind which the ambulatory runs. The access is from the churchyard only.The church is known for its collection of mediaeval stained glass consisting of many kneeling donors, with several to John Clopton, a clothier, and also the Martyn family, plus a number of other benefactors associated with them.Unfortunately the stained-glass did not remain undisturbed for long and most of them have been rearranged, and some lost.There are several brasses, a monument to Clopton's father, further monuments and a fourteenth century alabaster relief of the adoration of the Magi.There is a perpendicular octagonal font of Purbeck marble.The reredos and pulpit are from the second half of the nineteenth century.The church has a three manual organ by Walker. |
