Description
The arch located approximately 50 metres south-south-east of the Church of St Bridget is a Grade II listed structure. Originally, it served as the chancel arch of a Norman chapel that was demolished around 1828. The arch is made of volcanic stone and features angle shafts with capitals that are intricately carved with a dog-tooth design. It is set into a 19th-century rubble wall that has crenellations, and the arch is complemented by 19th-century wrought iron gates.
The arch was repositioned by the Reverend Coryndon Luxmore, who was the rector from 1786 to 1845. In 1830, he described the former chapel, noting that it had been converted into a poor house and that the arch had been moved to its current location at his own expense. He referred to the arch as a Saxon feature that separated the chancel from the main body of the church.
