I've past this church a number of times and for some reason I thought it had been converted in to a hotel or something because of a nearby sign. After looking at the map and checking Google maps i found it was still in use so I managed to stop off on my way back from our caravan.
The church from just inside the churchyard
From inside the Lychgate it looks more like this
The north side nearer the porch
East end from the churchyard
South east view
West end showing the bell tower
Iphone showing the north side
From the churchyard looking north east
This is around the south side of the church from the entrance there
Churchyard along the south side of the church
Going around the north side looking along the path to the lychgate
Churchyard east of the church
Looking north to south
East end looking south
Misplaced headstones
Ivy covered tombs

West of the church looking towards the south entrance
Inside the porch are some tomb slabs and headstones
Inside looking down the nave
Near to the chancel arch
Chancel arch looking in
In the chancel
Altar and east window from the choir stalls
Closer to the altar and east window
The altar and cross
One of the reasons for my visit was to see these painting of the angels I has seen on the web page, I think I should have taken a better shot of them rather than from the center, maybe I'll stop off again going home
The 14th effigy tomb of 14th effigy tomb of Jane Walbeoffe
The face of Jane Walbeoffe
Niche over to the south side of the chancel
Looking back though the church
Anther view from the choir stalls
From the chancel arch
The pulpit
View down from it
These carvings are on the chancel arch
But the corbels have them as well
Some of the corbel carvings and from the arch
Chancel ceiling
Where you can see these boss carvings
The font may well be older than the present chruch
At the back as you come in your faced with this painted rerdos screen
I should have found out where it came from
This is the carving mentioned in the history
I cropped the photo from the original and enhanced it a bit you should be able to see the man on the left and woman on the right
The information on the stone
Helping hand carving
Roll of Honour, HMS Cassandra was sunk in 1918 and Seabright Wilmott Jones maybe be the person who fell overboard in the rescue of the men onboard
Couple of the memorials in the church
This one is a bit older
The Mothers Union church banner
Poppy head carving
The windows are quite pretty to look at with the colored glass
Clarks prayer desk
See these around many churches
Altar cross in front of the window
Organ covered up
I will leave you with this view of the chancel and the angel paintings from the choir stalls
Till next time have a peaceful weekend

I always enjoy the pictures you take of the churches you find.
I visited this a few years back September 2018 in fact as I've just found my post. I visited mainly for the Moridic Stone, which is so early - 10th or 11th C. There is also a portion of early carved stone built low into the wall of the tower.
A wonderful church with so many interesting features. The angel wall paintings are lovely and the coloured glass in the windows.
