view of church interior - nave - looking west

Scene Description: Source caption: "Church of All Saints, Aston-on-Trent. Looking west from the chancel with the 12th century tower arch at the far end. The blocked opening over was the original access to the bell chamber as the tower did not (and still does not) have a staircase. The chandelier is probably from around 1800."
