Description: | -A magnificent roof of wide span and massive timbers, which sits so grandly upon the Nave walls. It dates from the last quarter of the 14th century, and its great width (about 26ft) is quite exceptional in a Parish Church. Its tie-beams, king-posts and wall-plates are all heavily moulded, and the braced collar and rafter construction is very massive. On one king-post near the west end is carved the head of a manpossibly meant for the master-carpenter, who took an affectionate pride in his work. P.M. Johnston, F.S.A.
The chancel screen was erected in 1892 in memory of Major-General Woodbine Parish CB who died at 'The Oaks' in April 1890.
Note the lack of old monuments on the wallsthese had been removed during rebuilding work in 1859 and were not replaced until 1913. | 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: | John Owen Smith | Subjects: | Woodbine-Parish church All Saints' Church | Temporal: | start=1908-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | John Owen Smith | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
