St Nicholas Rotherfield Greys

 

 This is  a revisit to this St Nicholas Rotherfiled Greys  to see if I could see the Knolly's Chapel 

 The parish church includes the 16th-century Knollys Chapel, which houses an ornate tomb of the Knollys family. This includes effigies of Sir Francis Knollys and his wife, who was lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth I.

 From the gate looking at the porch

This is the Knolly chapel 

Around the south side, the building on the left is the church office and rooms

As I went in I could not help notice the Christmas tree

Looking down the nave of the church

The chancel

Altar and east window, I did like how the backlit the cross

The east window 

Collage showing the scenes in the window

Looking back

The organ does stand out

The stained glass window behind the organ

Pulpit and advent candels

View down from the pulpit

The church does have some really nice stained glass

Showing scenes from the life of Jesus

Some from other parts of the bible

This one is above the Christmas tree

Behind which is are a couple of WWI grave crosses

With their names, regiment and when they were killed

Sad thing is the looked to be Brothers

Memorial to Lieut Hubert Blake Hodson

On the floor is a sunning church brass to see showing a knight in Armour 

The Knolly chapel, it's only visible through the railings

It's surrounded by their children, boys on the other side

All dressed in mourning apart from the first one

Sir Francis Knollys and his wife, who was lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth I

On the top of the tomb they face each other. The chapel is kept locked and there is more to see inside like memorials and the stained glass windows. I'm trying to arrange a visit to view the rest so if your reading this then I'm still waiting to do so

I will leave you with this shot of the font.

Till Next time may I wish you all a peaceful week
