After the look around the outside of the church this week we look at the inside of All Saints. Now such was the amount to see I did my usual look around and wonder where to start first but at least I managed to keep my head together and work in a reasonable order
The nave looking towards the transept and chancel, I was rather awestruck as to where to go first in the church but managed to get my head together and work from the nave
The transept arch on the nave side and chancel side
The altar which is dressed beautifully
The altar has a curtain behind
the altar which was decked with one of the nicest floral displays I have seen
Above the arch leading to the transept and above a George III coat of arms

Inside if you look up you can see recesses and nearby smaller ones with faces looking out

Right the Unton Aisle and left the South Transept

Right the Unton Aisle and left the South Transept
Above looking back through the transept to the West end of the church,
Left I think this is the North Transept the door leads to the Church Office
Right the stained glass windows in the Transept
Looking right through an arch to the chapel off the chancel
The Transept is this pulpit is situated along with the view you get from it looking into the nave
There is a lot of very nice stained glass to be seen in the church
All have an inscription below dedicating them to the memory of a person who attended the church
Above this stunning window is in the Unton Asile
Nice funerary hatchment in the chapel off the chancel
This small case shows a couple of canon balls found nearby they date from the English civil war when Faringdon was besieged by Cromwells forces
Above the Roll of Honour from the First world war.
Right looking across the nave to the North aisle
One of the features pointed out to me is this turtle at the base of a pillar
Above the font you can see in the church with it's cover
The figure you can see in the Unton aisle kneeling in Tudor dress
I think she is Dorothy Unton
Behind is a wonderful memorial
on the base this skull.
Right the brass in tomb in the chapel
The colourful coats of arms
even the brasses have paint on them still
Nearby is another tomb with effigies on top
Both in repose and Tudor dress, They seem to have survived Cromwells men defacing them
Opposite the Unton Asile you can see this chapel
This has a fare amount of memorials in it
The most impressive one being that of Lana Pye
Left looking towards the entrance and the Unton aisle behind
I will leave you with this shot of the into aisle with the musical instruments that are in there
Till Next time have a peaceful week

What a beauty inside!
It looks beautifully cared for.
I love old buildings. Thanks for sharing...
Great shots.
...beautiful, Bill. This one doesn't have the country feel that most of your churches have.
