view of church interior - looking east
Scene Description: Source caption: "St Peter's Church: the nave. The North Aisle dates from the Norman period, and is probably 12th century, hence the round top arches. The South Aisle has pointed ("early English") arches from the 14th century, and was known to have been reconstructed in 1350. The chancel arch appears to come from the same period."
