    Church Plan
    Parish church
    The red sandstone church has an aisled nave, a chancel, a W tower and a S porch entrance. The chancel was rebuilt in 1754, the N aisle and arcade were added by Rickman in 1826, and the church was largely rebuilt in 1858-65. Fragments of Romanesque voussoirs have been reused as corbels beneath the guttering of the modern porch, and in 1984 a carved stone panel was found under the plaster of the E wall of the S nave aisle.
  • 3. St Kenelm, Romsley, Worcestershire, England
    Exterior, general view, from S
    Parish church
    The church has an aisleless nave that continues directly into the chancel, both of the 12thc. and built of red sandstone, a greenish sandstone 15thc. tower and a timber S porch. The chancel is built over a crypt, which once contained the shrine of St Kenelm; the arch in the S chancel wall giving access to it is now blocked. There is Romanesque sculpture in the S nave doorway and on a corbel and two carved panels set in the S wall of the nave.

    General view
    Parish church
    Built of red sandstone ashlar, the church has a 12thc. aisleless nave and chancel, the latter with a modern arch and rebuilt E wall, a W tower of the 16thc. or 17thc., and a modern vestry. The nave is on a different axis to the chancel and seems to have been built a little later. Romanesque sculpture is found in the S doorway of the nave, within a 15thc. porch, in the blocked N nave doorway and on the label of a small reset doorway in the S chancel wall; on the string courses of both nave and chancel; on the font and on loose fragments.
