St Mary - The Chancel

Written by Administrator.

Click here to see a photograph of the ceilingThe chancel, which Pevsner* tells us was built in 1869 when the church was restored,has windows in the decorated style, ornamental corbels at the bases of the arch between it and the nave, and a very beautiful ceiling, presumably also made at that date, apparently still in very good condition. Pevsner also mentions a seventeenth century pulpit. and a communion rail. As you can see from the photographs, these presumably fell prey to one of the several robbers who have invaded and despoiled this church since it became redundant.
