More about this scene

An angel has appeared from a former house in the south chapel; the pulpit is dated 1628, and has blank arches and arabesque decoration; the back panel upper half has caryatids and the tester has strapwork cresting. An hourglass on an elaborate iron stand carries the arms of the Farriers' Company, London, and is a unique expression of the blacksmith's art of the time - 17th century - with leaves and grapes, a lion, a pelican and a wolf, attributed to Hurst. Victorian iron screens are on the west, north and south of the chancel. The 15th-century stained glass shows whole figures in the south-east window; the south aisle window, in violent colours, is by O'Connor and dates from 1863. The church monuments include a 9-inch bust, and inscriptions of the mid 16th century; on the reverse part of a figure of a bishop or abbot is a tablet with relief profile in a circular wreath and another tablet with flag and sabre and various brasswork.
