More about this scene
In photograph 78293, we have a view from the west end looking up the nave. The huge pillars with small capitals form the nave arcades; they have delicate decoration in the spandrels. The wonderful 500-year-old roof has heraldic bosses down the central beam. The chancel screen was dedicated on 10 October 1924, and was given by W Favill Tuke in memory of his wife. It was made of best English oak, and is 25 feet 3 inches high and 23 feet 3 inches wide. There are steps up to the top within the pillar at the north end, and it is from here that the organ is played. The organ pipes are visible on the south side of the chancel. The church had gas lighting at the time of the photograph.
