More about this scene

We can see the porch attached to the west tower, and also the good proportions of the building. Inside, the wide three-bay nave is tall and light with thin piers. Its arches to north, south and east are very tall too, and of Decorated style. In the north-east chapel, the monument of Sir William Sharington, who died in 1553, is dated 1566; it is said to be one of the finest pieces of mid 16th-century decoration in England. The tomb chest has carved strapwork cartouches, early Renaissance pilasters with arabesques, and other elaborate decoration.
