Description: | St. Mary's Church, Langley dates in part from the 12th century. Pevsner's Buildings of England describes the Kedermister Library extension, built by Sir John Kedermister between 1631 and 1638, as the most beautiful in England.
In the photograph, the lectern can be seen on the right in the foreground, just beyond the pews. To the left and partly visible is the pulpit, inscribed 'Given by Sir John Kedermister soldier 1609', with plain panels and strapwork on the posts. The timber screen separating the chancel from the nave is perpendicular period with ogee-headed one light divisions. The roof beam visible in the background above the chancel is part of the original roof construction dating to the 12th century. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Slough Library | Subjects: | St. Mary's Church, Langley Marish ; St. Mary the Virgin ; Langley Church Churches ; Church of England ; | Temporal: | start=1900-01-01; end=2006-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Reg Harrison | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
