The church
is plastered, whitened, and ceiled throughout. The plain
granite tower is 15th century, and the nave and north aisle
are of the same date, but the chancel is 13th century with
good lancet windows in red Posbury stone. The south wall of
the nave was rebuilt in the reconstruction of 1884, and the
windows spoilt. The font is profusely ornamented Norman
work.
In the north aisle is a fine medieval screen with most of its
original colouring, old benches with carved ends, roof bosses,
and some 15th century glass, the royal arms of Elizabeth on a
hatchment, and the royal arms of George II above. The upper
part of the pulpit is elaborately carved 16th century
work.
We were
welcomed by members from the parish church of St Mary The
Virgin, on a beautiful sunny
afternoon. Most of the members played the two manual organ and
entertained us with various new and old pieces of music. We were then invited into the church hall where members of the
parish served us a very satisfying tea.
