- 1. St Nicholas, Abingdon, Berkshire, England
-
-
Parish church The W front and N wall date from the mid 12thc., but no original sculpture survives. The present W door belongs to a restoration of 1880, and is based on drawings by H.Neil (1804, engraved by J.C.Smith and published in 1805), and J.Storer (1808, engraved by the artist). These show the doorway in a dilapidated state, but substantially as it appears today, with the exceptions noted below.

Parish church Integral 12thc. single nave and chancel with 13thc. tower. To this, G.E. Street added a brick chancel higher than the nave in 1851. Two chapels of 1706 (E chapel) and 1765 (W chapel) open off N side of nave. The tower bears the inscription MBR1637AMP, presumably referring to a restoration. 12thc. sculpture consists of a S doorway elaborately carved with chevron, a plain font, and reused pieces on the tower arch and the label of the W window.

Of these, a group of four are in their original positions on the S nave wall, below the level of the added clerestorey. One is reset at the SW corner of the nave. The remainder (18 in all) have been brought inside the church and reset under the roof trusses of the N, S and W nave walls, and on the N and S walls of the N aisle. Also present are a late 12thc. W doorway and tower arch.

-
Parish church The present church has a 13thc. chancel, a 4-bay nave of c.1300 and a 12thc. W tower of two storeys, the first divided by a string course at the level of the apex of the W doorway, to which a Perpendicular third storey was added. Inside the nave, however, the first bay of the S arcade is a pointed arch constructed from a carved semicircular arch of greater span, which Pevsner suggests was the 12thc. chancel arch. The present c.1300 chancel arch is supported on 12thc. responds and capitals.
