All Saints

Beeby

Leicestershire

Parish church, largely early C14, with some restoration, including the rebuilding of the chancel in 1819.

Architectural Features

Quatrefoil frieze below embattled parapet, which contains gargoyles.

Clerestory has paired foiled lights and ashlar parapet, with gargoyles.

Above it is a very worn carved head.

Nave-arcade has octagonal columns, double chamfered arches with large corbels, Victorian restorations: a serpent, a skull, the crucifixion and various saints etc. Nave roof is perhaps C15: cambered trusses with large central foliate bosses.

Chancel arch looks earlier than the arcade, perhaps late C13 - it is steeply pointed and double chamfered on half-octagonal piers.

The Chancel is raised up 3 steps, its screen is largely medieval, (C14) though capped by a Victorian cross, and has central ogee archway and cusped tracery panels either side of it.

Stone and marble heavy high Victorian pulpit, c1860.

Royal arms over tower arch.

Font is a diminutive basin on 4 round shafts with nail head decoration on bases and in between them.

Perhaps C13.
