view of church interior - looking east

Scene Description: Source caption: "Hackthorn dates back to Roman times, and there was a church recorded in the Domesday book. Some remnants of the Saxon church were incorporated into the current building. In the 18th century the old church was in a poor condition, the roof was quoted as being "ruinous and out of repair", the steeple was described as dangerous, so a new roof was built and the steeple demolished. In 1805 the church was reduced in size, but in 1844 the accommodation needed enlarging once again, and a subscription list was set up to fund this. In October 1844 the foundation stone for a new aisle was laid, and work began.The church was barely finished in 1849 when the first service was held. The church consists of a western tower, nave, north aisle and porch, vestry, and chancel. The tower is built in the 14th century style with a battlemented parapet and crocketted pinnacles. There are gargoyles in the form of Griffins and Lions. The nave has a three bay arcade with octagonal piers. At the west end there is a finely carved gallery. All the fittings are 19th century. There are numerous label stops with human heads."

There are eight entries for Hackthorn [variant spellings] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/SK9982/hackthorn/] [accessed 13 July 2019], two of which reported "0.5 churches" each [a moiety?], and toe of them has priests -Erwin (1066) and Turold (1086)- as lords. The entry for this church in the Hackthorn & Cold Hanworth History Group, written by Sir Weston Cracroft-Amcotts in 1967 [www.hackthornhistorygroup.org.uk/hackthorn-church/] [accessed 13 July 2019] notes: "There is little doubt that a Church has existed at Hackthorn on the present site since early days. [...] The only remnants of this early church are the two arches incorporated into the North and West doorways of the present building and some thick slabs of Saxon origin, that were excavated when the present foundations were being laid. Some fifteen yards south of the centre of the church stands an ancient stone bearing a Saxon cross, such as were often erected in churchyards as a kind of communal cross before the practice arose of erecting individual tombstones. This particular stone seems to be part of the sepulchral slab found by the Rev. Edwin Jarvis incorporated in the walls of the old church when it was pulled down in 1844. An article in the Archeological Journal of December 1849 describes the slab and its carvings as of pre-Norman date and gives a drawing. The slab, which was broken in two in the middle, was some 6 to 7 feet long and about 2 feet wide: it would seem that the upper half, with the fracture trimmed off, was inverted and erected where it now stands in the Churchyard. The stone is carved on each side with a cross, both the cross and the stone itself being edged with a rope device, and bears centrally a small circle. The entry for this church in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK9910482361] notes: "Parish church. C12 and 1849 rebuilding [...] The west doorway is in a late C12 style, re-using some original work. [...] All fittings including finely carved altar rail, reredos, pulpit and readers desk are contemporary with the rebuilding. The octagonal font is also C19".
