More about this scene

The late Norman church, distinguished by its red crenellated tower, contains some ancient wall paintings, including a fresco of the murder of Thomas a Becket. Also on display are stained glass and brasses. One of the church's greatest treasures is a chapel dedicated to the memory of the Brocas family, who lived at nearby Beaurepaire House. The large south window of the chapel is filled with 16th-century glass and is the work of Flemish craftsmen.
