view of church interior - chancel
Scene Description: Source caption: "Chancel, St Mary & Holy Rood church, Donington. [...] The Chancel walls, built of irregular rubble masonry, incorporate some of the oldest parts of the building. The oldest known part of the church is the east wall where two doorways, one each side of Holy Table and now walled up, seem to indicate that a chapel for relics once existed. The large 15th century window above the altar was enriched with stained glass in 1884 and shows the Ascension of Christ. Below the window and behind the altar is a beautiful Victorian-Gothic reredos which shows the four Evangelists in a marble mosaic. On the north wall, near its eastern end, masonry in the form of steps, suggests that there was once a room above the relic room before the large east window was erected in the 15th century."
