Teversham

Cambridgeshire

8.1962 II* Parish church, C13 but re-fenestrated

Architectural Features

re-roofed in C14.

In early C15 the West tower was inserted into the West end of the nave.

It is of three-stages with a stepped and embattled parapet, two-stage clasping buttresses and a moulded main cornice with beast gargoyles at the corners.

The nave has a C19 tiled roof carried down over the aisle, obscuring the original C13 clerestory with its horizontal vesica shaped windows.

All the fenestration of the South aisle has been renewed in Ketton in C14 style.

One early C13 lancet

a C14 two cinquefoil light window with foiled head in a two-centred arch.

The North doorway is C14 and wave moulded.

The carving of the capitals would suggest a later date than that of the early C13 clerestory.

In the chancel there is a good late C14 three seat sedilia in three bays, with subcusped ogee heads with running foliate ornament, finials and above a frieze of pierced arcading, all in clunch.

The screen between nave and chancel is C15, restored, in three bays.

On tile right hand side the closed panels below the dado are early C17.

Some of the pews are late C15 or early C16

the pulpit is early C17 and octagonal, on a modern base.
