All Saints Rotherfield Peppard

 

This is a revisit to All Saints Rotherfield Peppard  the original post can be see in the link and shows more of the churchyard. This was a quick stop to see if the church had chanced much, I'm glad to say it has not.


 The Church of England parish church of All Saints was Norman, but was almost completely rebuilt in 1874.[4] All Saints' is a Grade II* listed building.[5] The ecclesiastical parish has become part of the united benefice of Rotherfield Peppard, Kidmore End and Sonning Common.

St Edmund Hall Chapel

 

This is a short blog but I feel it is worthy of being shown in the Church Explorer. The chapel is off the Quad at St Edmunds Hall College and was built in the late 17th century being famous for painting ‘Supper at Emmaus’ by Ceri Richards that hangs over the altar plus the stained glass window by William Morris and  Edward-Burne Jones. 

This panel in the glass case is dated 1528 and looks amazing

Beautifully carved poppyhead 


 Last of all the organ pipes, I did not check where it was played from but might be on the left side of the altar
 

This was the first college chapel I have visited and as most of the collages have them I will try visit some of the others as well. 
 I will leave with a collage.
Till next time may I wish you all a peaceful week
