Some of the finest carved capitals in England

This Medieval church, with its magnificent 14th- and 15th-century tower and spire, stands prominently on a hillside above the Welland Valley.

Inside, it has a spectacular 12th-century chancel arch (look for the zig-zag pattern), which rests on some of the most beautiful carved capitals in England.

The robust font is 13th-century.
