I had the opportunity to visit some churches over a weekend and one of the first on my list was St Katherine Chiselhampton. Last time I visited I took photos of the church exterior and churchyard this time I went and got the key to the church from the local pub the Coach & Horses. One item of note is that if you intend to visit then ask if you can use their car park & walk to the church as the parking is limited to one car in a very narrow parking area in front of the church beside the road. Take care if you walk the road is busy and there is no pavement.
Another view of this wonderful old church as you walk in
Above the fist view of the church as you walk inside
With prayers and versus from scripture on the East wall
The small altar and cross
Looking back to the balcony
Either side of the altar are memorials to the Peers Family members
In fact most of the memorials are to members of the Peers
Above the pulpit
Couple more memorials which are either side of the altar
The large window near the altar
which has a family crest in
The candelabras with candles in
A very nice old organ
Some views of the church from the Pulpit
The large window from the Pulpit
Looking down on the Organ
What I like about the church was all the box pews
Unusual font
Some views looking down from the balcony
Where you see rows of chairs for people to sit
Looking across the church down at the box pews
out of the window at the churchyard
The candelabras
The candelabra in the centre is dated
from around the 1700s
Near the back is the war memorial for the village
Listing the lost from the First World War
and the Second
Have to wonder how much light the candelabras let off in the church and is the coat of arms the Peers family
I I will leave you with this picture of one of the floral displays from the window sill and with you all a great week till next time
