SU 65 NW MONK SHERBORNE 5/58 26.4.57 CHURCH OF ALL SAINTS (formerly listed as Church of St John)

II

Circa 1140, C14, 1851, 1887. Norman aisleless nave with a short chancel, small C19 vestry, and restoration timber bell turret. The chancel has fragments of early work (suggestion of former apse end to the east wall), including filled windows, with C14 traceried and cusped windows; the round arch rests on cushion and floral caps to attached columns. The nave windows are varied but old, and the north door is Norman with chevron decoration. At the west end of the nave a medieval stair turret now gives access to the bell turret, which has exposed supporting timbers. Fittings include a pulpit of 1651, C17 pews, a round C13 font on 3 new shafts, a C17 communion rail (at the west end) associated with a C15 screen. The C14 north porch is timber-framed with arched entrance, scalloped barge-boards, and tiled roof. Walling is of flint (part laid herring-bone fashion), with stone dressings. The large bell-turret has tile-hanging, with scalloped bands, and a pyramid roof.
