| 説明 | Looking west down the south aisle & naveThere was a succession of Saxon churches here beginning around the year 700 AD. Sometime around AD 744 a timber church was built to act as a minster / mother church for the area. An late 10c stone cross is now on display inside. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/KXw855v0p9In the late 12c a Norman church was built of stone on a cruciform layout with a central tower. The first recorded vicar is Robert de la Hille of 1237 Over the medieval period, the chancel was lengthened, the nave raised, side aisles added The present building is mainly 15c / early 16c retaining c1200 work in lower parts of the tower and chancel. It comprises of a nave, north and south aisles, chancel between north and south chapels and transepts and crossing tower with late 15c octagonal top stageThe upper part and north and south arcades of the nave were rebuilt in 1765 and 1816 . . Sadly the roofs of the nave and south aisle were destroyed by a fire in 1933 and had to be replaced Lighting the nave are a pair of elegant brass chandeliers, installed in 1769.The south porch at one time had a parvise, but when there was a gallery in the south aisle an exterior staircase was made to give access to the parvise, and from thence to the gallery. This gallery has now been removed, and the parvise is used as a small gallery looking into the south aisle. The west window is fine, reaching almost to the ground, the doorway forming part of the window; the doorway is old, but the tracery of the window has been replaced with new, the part taken out being preserved in the east end of the churchyard. - Church of St Andrew , Colyton DevonAlan JR Clements britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101306053-church-of-st-andre... |
