Title: St Mary's Church, Shipton, Hants [Go to resource]
Description: The architect made a mistake in the dedication of the church: it should have been to St Peter. We are looking east, along the nave and chancel. The pews held room for 150 in the congregation. A feature is the stone chancel screen, unusual in English churches. It is incorporated within the chancel arch and has three trefoiled openings in fourteenth-century style. It was said to be a reproduction of an old stone screen of which only the springers of the side arches remain. The east window, of trefoiled lights with a square head, dates from the restoration of 1879. The timber roof is impressive.
