view of church interior - looking east

Scene Description: Source caption: "The north arcade is said to date from around 1066 thus it would seem that the church was originally a small Norman church of which only the Nave and Tower remain. The walls and windows of the North and south aisles of the nave date from the Restoration in 1846. Sometime in the 14th century the chancel arch was built, but the chancel it led to has gone. The arch leading to the tower was built about the same time and probably it was then that the nave walls were heightened and a clerestory provided. In 1846 the roof of the chancel was lowered and a low lath and plaster arch constructed under the chancel arch that now exists. This was removed in 1935 and the old arch – sadly hacked about – was revealed. It was impossible to raise the chancel roof, so the space in the apex of the arch was filled by a painting: “Our Lord in Glory”, by Miss Jessie Bayes. In the 15th century, all that now exists beyond the chancel arch and beyond the eastern arches of the nave aisles – was entirely rebuilt."

There are three entries for Stoke [Rochford] [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SK9127/stoke-rochford/] [accessed 7 January 2019] none of which mentions cleric or church in it. Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989) mention only the font cover: "Three tiers of painted panels depicting the birth and childhood of Christ, 1937, designed and given by Christopher Turnor, painted by Jesse Bayes" [Jesse (or Jessie) Bayes (1876-1970) English miniaturist painter and designer in the Arts and Crafts style, member of the RMS]. The font itself is octagonal, the sides of the basin decorate with quatrefoil panels; it is also painted in the same colours as the cover. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK9205327352] notes: "Parish church. Cll, C12, C13, C14, 1448, 1460-70, C19 restoration, 1936. [...] fittings are C19 including octagonal font. The painted font cover made by Christopher Turnor c.l900 and matches staircase panels in Stoke Rochford Hall." [NB: the church goes back to the 11th century (?), but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church].
