説明 | Parish Church. 1716. Brick, with stone dressings, and a slate roof. The building replaces an earlier church, and was paid for by the estate owner Thomas "Diamond" Pitt, a former governor of Madras and father of the Earl of Chatham. The structure is of classical form, with symmetrical or regular elevations, with an aisleless nave of 4 bays, a chancel, west tower incorporating the entrance, and a small Victoria vestry south of the chancel. The walls are of brickwork in Flemish bond with blue headers, and Bath stone features; weathered coping to the parapet, moulded cornice, corner pilasters, moulded plinths: plain architraves to the openings, round-headed windows and doorways with Keystones. The tower has 3 stages, separated by moulded stone bands, the top state has a cambered head to the opening, the middle stage has a small oval window (clock face on the west) above a window with a cambered head, and the lower stage has a recessed brick panel above an opening: the west side has the arched doorway, with moulded impost, plain pilasters and arched cornice: the south side has a rectangular (staircase) projection with a small window above a tiny doorway. The easternmost group of windows (chancel and 2 eastern bays of the nave) have been filled (C19) with traceried coupled lights, and the parapet of the tower is crenellated, with corner Gothic pinnacles. Inside, the simple classical appearance is enhanced by oak panelling, in the sanctuary and as a dado to the rest of the chancel and to the nave: the pews have doors and include a family pew: the pulpit is a panelled octagon. There are communion rails and wood octagonal font of baluster form, with stoneware bowl and decorative wooden cover. A gallery occupies the west bay of the nave, with panelled front, 2 Tuscan columns, with pilasters against the side walls: 2 panels are lettered (one about a bequest of 1728, the other about the church rebuilding of 1716). There are wall monuments of the late C18 and ear |
