St Mary Garsington Pt2

 

 The last time I visited St Mary Garsington was back in December 2020 when they were repairing the roof where the lead had been stolen. I have waited to return since then and after emailing the church warden found out the church was open on Wednesday with the church at Horsepath open most days. It was time to revisit so I planed to get to visit both churches

The photos were taken with both iPhone and Canon EOS R6

 

 You notice this sign as you walk in the gate

 

 

Above the entrance to the porch this old lamp hangs, I could not get a good shot of it last time

 

 

 The church looks a lot nicer with out the scaffolding that was along the sides 

 Walk in the door and you look across to the north aisle

 

Here we look down the nave towards the chancel

 

Walking down the nave a bit to view the chancel arch and chancel

The centre dominated by this candle on holder

Going into the chancel 

 The altar with screen panelling at the back

 

 Closer view of the altar top and screen

 

The centre of the screen showing a carving of the crucifixion 

 

 

Above this beautiful stained glass window

 

Looking back through the chancel arch towards the nave
 

 

 One of the sets of choir stalls

 

 

In front of the chancel looking down the nave aisle

 

 

The pulpit on the right hand side of the chancel arch when you look at the altar

 

Looking down from the pulpit towards the nave and north aisle

 

 

Turning around to the chancel

Into the south aisle

 

 

And across to the organ

Lecturn

 

 

This view of the nave and south aisle is from the lectern in the photo above

Part of the north aisle is given over for the youngest of the parishioners

One of the windows in the south aisle which is typical of the others in the church

The Malbon memorial dating from 1788, the brass on is from the 20th century

The Wickham memorial

This one is in Latin

 

This one is getting a little faded

Elizabeth Morrell

I noticed this one under a carpet where the children's area is

 

The font with it's huge cover

 

Altar cross in a window

 

This broken memorial beside it

Lady Ottoline Morrell who turned out to be a different person to who I thought she was.

The south aisle

 

Where you can find the village Roll of Honour

 

Showing the fallen from both wars

Beside the altar in the south aisle is this brass which looks like it was lifted from the floor, the couple had a busy life having five boys and five girls

The south aisle altar

 

This rather nice carved chair is by the main altar in the chancel

 

Looking around the roof you see carved angels

on the corbels

 

a brass lectern

 

with the bible on it

 

 The candle with chancel behind

I will leave you with the flower display at the base of the font.

Till next time stay safe and have a beautiful weekend
