view of church exterior - southwest view
Scene Description: Source caption: "St Anna, Thornbury. The squat, unbuttressed West tower dates from the 13th century. F.R. Kempson added the somewhat intrusive West window in 1865-6 when he restored the church, rebuilding the chancel in the process and exposing the blocked 3-bay South arcade. Remote, but clearly loved and well cared for. Kempson added a shingled spire to the tower; this was replaced by the present pyramid roof in 1955."

There are two entries for this Thornbury [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SO6259/thornbury/] [accessed 16 May 2015], neither of which mentions cleric or church in it. A font here is described and illustrated in Herefordshire (1931-1934): "Font:[...]: tapering cylindrical bowl, with deep band of lozenge-ornament round upper part, 12th-century." The octagonal base and polygonal plinth are modern. The wooden cover is round and flat; appears modern.
