More about this scene

Inside the church, we can immediately see that this small cathedral is nearly all original craftsmanship from floor to ceiling. The font is dated 1626, and the pulpit is also 17th-century. Unfortunately, the rood screen has been restored. In the north transept the east window, a depiction of the crucifixion, was restored in 1970. Some of the plate came from Imber church - the small village was taken over by the Army during the last war. Monuments abound: they include effigies of two knights from the 14th century, both from Imber. Some of the local monuments have been well refurbished in the past 30 years.
