English: St Mary's church - Marian altar in north transept. St Mary's > 1252000 - 1252046 - 1252105 originally was a cruciform church with a north and a south transept, the latter now in ruins > 1252034. It is surrounded by a vast churchyard and adjoined by the former Rectory. Inside, a number of medieval features have survived the Victorian restoration, such as the C15 font with carved shields > 1252114 and medieval glass which has been reset in one of the south nave windows > 1252079 - 1252083. The chancel houses a C14 Easter sepulchre with, a few days after the Easter weekend, this year's Easter decoration still in place > 1252070. The royal arms > 1252126 above the doorway are dated 1797 but as was often the case, they have been reused/repainted several times, originally having been made for Queen Anne. Interestingly, an old ledger stone in the aisle is decorated with a sheaf of corn > 1252121. The side altar in the north transept is modern and stands right next to the steps which once used to lead up onto the rood loft (seen here). One of the stained glass windows, depicting St Francis blessing the birds, was made by Harry Mileham > 1252090 - 1252096 - 1252102. The church is open every day.
