All Saints Church - early C17 tower screen
All Saints Church - early C17 tower screen
The tower of All Saints church > LinkExternal link - LinkExternal link - LinkExternal link dates from the 14th century; it was restored twice during the 20th century and the sun dial above the porch, which has an upstairs room > LinkExternal link is modern > LinkExternal link. The rood screen > LinkExternal link dates from the 15th century and is unusual in that the paintings on its 16 panels depict not apostles or saints but kings. The tower screen (detail seen here) has the date 1605 carved in its doors. The C14 wall paintings above the arcades > LinkExternal link are faded (or were overpainted at some time); the depiction of the stoning of St Stephen > LinkExternal link in one of the spandrels is the only remaining scene that still is clearly visible. The octagonal font > LinkExternal link is C15. The church is open every day. For more information see: LinkExternal link
