This photograph shows Eccleston church about ten years before it was rebuilt in the style of the 14th century by G F Bodley; the work was paid for by the first Duke of Westminster.
stone tower of this Perpendicular church situated in the heart of the old village, with its 17th- century cupola on the stair turret, was heavily restored during the 19th century, partly by Bodley
The late 19th-century work by Bodley was of such high standard and blended in so well that it is now difficult to identify.
The church on a hill commands the scene; it has a 14th-century tower and a slender spire, with a newer nave and chancel designed by the Victorian architect G F Bodley.
The porch and the three-bay south aisle were added in 1854 by G F Bodley.
The 20-foot-high reredos depicting the crucifixion was designed by George Bodley, who also built the new tower at Long Melford.
To their left a science block was added in 1933; there is a chapel further to the left, designed in 1909 by Bodley.
This photograph was taken before the clerestory was added to the chancel by Bodley in 1898.
The architect was George Bodley; he designed a Gothic tower so much in sympathy with the building that many visitors are unaware that it was only completed in 1903.
It was designed by G F Bodley and built by John Fabian.
