| 説明 | The glory of the church is the 15c medieval rood screen with good painting of 26 saints but the coving has been removed. Its early colour remains and the top of its arches are decorated by Tudor roses. It was restored in 1934 under the direction of Sir Charles Nicholson and further work was carried out in 1962. The new oak used in the restoration can be seen in several areas of the screen. This is most apparent on the chancel side as are burn marks on the wood near the top of the screen; these may indicate an attempt to destroy the screen by the Cromwellian forces encamped on Rickham Common in 1643-44. In its original form, vaulting would have projected forwards and possibly backwards to support a deck strong enough to carry choir boys for some services. Fragments of this decorative vaulting survive, nailed to the front of the screen arches. The intact panels, from the left, are St. Andrew, St. Hubert, St. Quirinus, St. George and St.Cornelius. St Winwaloe is immediately to the right of the pulpit. He is holding what may be a representation of an earlier church ; Next to him is St. Dominic , Pope Gregory, a scholar, perhaps St. Augustine, St. Mark, St. John, a choir of angels, the Virgin Mary, a female martyr, St. Peter, St. Catherine of Siena, King Edward the Confessor or Roger Champernoun, the donor; St. Francis, St. Lawrence, St. Bavon of Ghent, St. Sebastian. & two unidentifiable women, God the Son, part of the coronation of the Virgin Mary and St. Jerome with his lion. - Church of St. Winwaloe, East Portlemouth DevonPicture with thanks - copyright Ostaleri CCL flic.kr/p/5cUhSE |
