Description: | PRN 33665
The 2 carved roundels which form intergral parts of a Saxon (?early 9th century) string course in the S wall of the nave of St Michael & All Angel's Church, Edenham, are thought to be in situ. {2} At W of nave near tower arch is lower part of an 8th century cross-shaft. Arnold-Forster lists as 'St Michael', & Cox as 'St Michaels' Church, formerly Holy Cross', mainly Perpendicular with Norman & Early English detail. The fabric has been much restored at different times. ?Saxon {7} earthworks, an entrenched camp? {8} plainly seen on N & E. On the S & W, the churchyard retaining walls with the road at a much lower level, point to similar banks here previously. The church, in normal use, stands on a natural elevation, retaining walls are contemporary with adjacent roads. The medieval village cross & roundels within the church survive as illustrated, but the roundels have been colour-washed.
Stained glass in this church dates variously to the 15th and 17th centuries, with Netherlandish glass dating to the early 16th century, and German or Swiss glass dating to circa 1475-1500 AD.{9} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 650 - 2050 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
