With the sun streaming in.
Detail on the original 14th century north door.
Marble memorial to John Murton of Cooling Castle who died in 1852 having fallen overboard whilst off Rio de Janeiro, hence the chain and anchor.
Arcading on the walls.
"Modern" Victorian pews.
Against the "older" medieval benches of the 14th century.

Thanks for looking, Mike
Hi Micheal, Nice to see the blog again, lovely the old wooden door,looks like the wooden benches were made by that man who carves mice at the end of the row. Never noticed them when I visited with my local history group. Margaret.
