Description: | Originally a medieval parish church, St Peter's fell into disrepair in the 18th -19th centuries. The church was rebuilt by Francis Niblett in 1849-51 but suffered partial demolition in 1952. The north tower, spire, porch and a carved lych gate with oak leaf motif survive. The nave, chancel, north aisle and chapel remain only as a few courses of masonry. Stone from the demolished nave was used to rebuild Wycliffe College chapel in Stonehouse. Eastington church acquired the ring of six bells. | Subjects: | Derelict Aerial View Church | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Wingham, H A | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
