Priory And Parish Church Of St Mary

Each bell opening has 4 lights, divided in the upper stage into 2 pairs with an angel's head in the spandrel, but below a deep unmoulded transom only 2 lights with cusped heads.

The King's Own Memorial Chapel is separated from the north aisle by an arcade of 4 narrow bays with clustered piers which have capitals carved with a 'black letter' Latin inscription.

The moulded south doorway, inside the porch, is of late C12 date and has restored angle shafts.

At the west end of the nave the central part of the C18 gallery survives and has carved Royal arms attached to its front.

FITTINGS include, to each side of the chancel choir stalls with gables which are encrusted with foliage carving - Pevsner called them 'about the most luxuriant canopies in the country.' 10 misericords survive, all mutilated to some extent.

The reconstructed pulpit incorporates C17 woodwork, including the date '1619'.

The font is of 1848, but the carved oak octagonal font cover is dated '1631'.

The early C20 glass in the north chapel was made by Shrigley and Hunt, except for the west window, which is a memorial to the dead of the First World War.

3 brass candelabra of Flemish design were donated in 1717.
