Background

History

The church is medieval and the chancel is described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of the most exciting pieces of architecture in the country." On the north side of the chancel is a medieval Easter Sepulchre. Opposite on the south side is the sedilia. The carvings on these two features are considered amongst the best in England. The carvings in the chancel are thought to be the work of stonemasons who worked on the choir screen and Chapter House in Southwell Minster.
