| From the font, and looking towards the great east window, the visitor sees a fifteenth century perpendicular church almost as it was finished about the year 1450. The furnishings are, of course, different, but the building itself is unchanged, and even the glass of the east window is largely as it was when given to the church by Sir Robert Wingfield in 1480. | Over the main door and in the lower stages of the tower - the tower arch and belfry window - can be seen the remains of an earlier church, 150 years older. To this earlier church belongs also the base of the south wall, the Herling tomb in the Lady Chapel, the Lady Chapel screen, the narrower of the two windows, and the doorway in the south wall of the chancel. The nave is a beautiful example of the perpendicular style. |
