More about this scene

Note how the 14th century north arcade of Polyphant stone contrasts with the more lofty granite south arcade which was built a century later. On a window sill in the north aisle (left) can be seen the effigy of a knight, believed to be Sir Ranulph de Blanchminster. The stained glass chancel window of the four evangelists is by Burne Jones, and executed by William Morris & Co. Since this photograph was taken a rood screen by E H Sedding was installed in 1901, separating the nave from chancel.
