| 説明 | Looking east down the 12c nave to the chancelThe earlier 12c church consisting of a nave, chancel & low bell tower was enlarged during Bishop Lacy’s episcopate c 1420 with north & south aisles divided from the nave with arcades of Beer stone At one time there was a rood loft supported by a beam fixed above the screen. This loft must have projected two to three feet from the chancel arch; the end of the beam was found in its original position in the 19c when the rood staircase was opened up. The cresting of the screen is comparatively modern, and in the lower panels the oak has been replaced with deal.The entrance to the staircase is between the pier of the chancel and of the south aisle and the first half pier of the nave, the lower and upper doorways both face the nave. There is a curious squint in the staircase, which could not have been for the use of the congregation unless the door was kept open. A second squint is in the south aisle, separated from the rood staircase by the width of the half pier of the nave. The bench ends dating from 1537 have unusually rich carving none of it religious, which perhaps enabled them to survive the subsequent Reformation and Commonwealth. Square-headed and about 3 feet high, and from 16 to 17 inches broad. There are about 63 remaining, and in no two cases is the carving alike. Complete set of 16th century oak benches of high quality workmanship. All are slightly different giving rise to the impression that they were acquired over a period rather than being a single scheme. At the eastern end of the central aisle on the north side is the Raleigh pew, with the family arms carved on the end.At the east end of the central aisle is the gravestone of the second wife of Sir Walter Raleigh’s father. The inscription, through age, is difficult to read. Dr. Oliver gives it as follows:Orate pro aia Johanne Raleyh uxoris Walti Raleyh queObiit X Die Mens Augusti Anno Dni M C C . . . ." - Church of All Saints.
