St Andrew's Church
In: Architecture, Landscapes
St Andrew's Church in Winterborne Tomson, Dorset, was built in the 12th century. It is designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
This tiny chapel, built of flint and stone, has an apse at the east end and a barrel vault roof which curves around it. The roof was replaced and windows inserted in the 16th century. The interior has limewashed walls, a 15th-century font and flag stone floor along with early 18th-century oak fittings.
Photo showing the aspe at the east end. The clouds above this tiny chapel are lovely!
The clouds were so nice I decided to keep them as a prominent feature in this photo. It is as shame that there are some farm building so close, there are only a couple of view where they don't detract from the photograph:
Flint, stone and window detail, on the left is the surviving norman window:
Flint, stone and door detail:
The real magic for me is inside, limewashed walls and oak fittings including box pews:
My favourite internal photograph has been added to the main gallery, it's worth a look just to see the bowing of the walls.
