All Saints Faringdon Pt2

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










 

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
