- 6. St Mary, Sulhamstead Abbots, Berkshire, England
-
-
Parish church Nave with S doorway and bellcote over W end. Narrow N aisle with three-bay arcade of early 13thc. Aisleless 19thc. chancel with 20thc. vestry to N. The chancel is centred on the nave with its aisle, not on the unaisled nave, and not on the fine timber nave roof of 14th–15thc. The chancel arch belongs to the 19thc., and presumably in this period the original chancel was replaced with one shifted to the N. The only feature recorded here is the font.

-
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.

A 12thc. doorway has been reset towards the W end of the N nave wall, and there is a disused plain font, probably 12thc., in the churchyard.
