Following on from last weeks tour of the outside of St Peter Drayton it's time to go inside.
The porch has some words on either side reminding you were you are going
The main aisle looking to the Chancel
Above in the chancel and a view of the back screen to the altar with the chancel window above
The altar & screen
Couple of views looking out of the chance to the nave
The pulpit which looks like it could be around the 1700's
Above looking out of the pulpit to the nave with the North aisle on the right. Left the chapel over on the South side
Above looking down the North aisle to the Organ
Right a couple of memorials
These memorials are on the South wall of the chapel

Not sure what the door hides but it's pretty old. Right an alcove in the South wall of the chapel

The Mothers Union banner in the chancel

Vestry at the back and a offerings box chained to one of the pillars on the aisle
Right a painting by
Elizabeth Deacon showing the nave of the church, it also shows a rood loft
I'll leave you with this photos of a row of Children's of toys which were at the back of the church.

It's beautiful.
...Bill, I find it interesting the the aisle is off centered. The windows are a special feature. Happy fifth birthday!

You are so good at showing the inside of a church. I enjoy your posts.
Congrats on 5 years of blogging! This church is wonderful to see. The details are just astounding.
What a beautiful old church.
You've captured so many details of this historic church, Bill. It's a pleasure to walk around. I like the painting by Elizabeth Deacon before the alterations took place, the carvings above the altars,the ancient features, the children's corner and the stained glass window with the bird feeding the young in the nest. Happy blog anniversary!
