More about this scene
Because of its very constricted site, St Helen's Church is immensely wide but relatively short. The nave and tower are 13th-century, but in the 15th and 16th centuries double aisles were added, each as wide as the main nave. The outer south aisle dates from 1539, and was built from stone salvaged or recycled from the newly dissolved abbey. This view of the interior shows the elegant arcades of the nave and aisles and also the grand Victorian timber chancel screen and the pulpit of 1636, both of which survive today.
