view of church interior - nave - looking east

Scene Description: Source caption: "Inside St John the Evangelist's church, Little Tew. A simple country church by G E Street, 1853. The chancel is demarcated from the nave in very understated ways, with no arch: just one step, a low wooden screen with ironwork top with the pulpit built into it and the lower, five-pitched ceiling."

There are four entries for [Little] Tew in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP3828/little-tew/] [accessed 21 November 2017], none of which mentions priest or church in it. The entry in the Victoria County History (Oxon., vol. 11, 1983) notes: "Little Tew formed part of the ecclesiastical parish of Great Tew until it was created a separate parish c. 1857 [...] There is traditionally supposed to have been a chapel of ease in Little Tew before the Reformation [...] It was claimed in 1899 that the site of the medieval chapel had been discovered 70 years earlier; [...] it is supposed to have been in Elm Close, north of Little Tew Manor and east of Water Lane. [...] The church of 1853 [...] was built west of the junction of the road from Enstone with the main village street, on land given by Eton College [...] In 1869 [...] [t]he font was moved to the aisle."
