More about this scene
This splendid Perpendicular church at Seend, near Devizes, is ashlar-faced; there are gargoyles, battlements and pinnacles, and a squat west tower. John Stokes, a 15th-century clothier, built the north aisle; the chancel was rebuilt in 1876. The Perpendicular font, dug up in 1939, is octagonal, with a pattern of quatrefoils in circles. Parts of the west gallery are now under the tower, and date to 1706 and 1726. Among the monuments are several tablets, one to George Husey, 1741, and another of brass 16 ins long to John Stokys, 1498, and his wife, in the north aisle that he built.
