Scene Description: Source caption: "The church of St James without the Priory Gate is unusual in that it is a Peculiar and is outside the jurisdiction of the Diocesan Bishop. The church was rebuilt in 1566 and so is a rare example of a Tudor church from after the reformation. The church is "remarkable for its furnishings" according to Pevsner who also says that "Until lately it was one of the best examples of an 'unrestored' church in the South of England, with box pews, three-decker pulpit, gallery, classical reredos, and hardly anything post-Georgian. Alas, in the 1950s the nave pews, having been found to be worm-eaten beyond repair, were cleared away and replaced by polished open pews which are about as incongruous as any seating could be in such a church. Despite this depletion it remains a delightful interior, still with a pre-Victorian atmosphere."
