- 1. St Nicholas, Asthall, Oxfordshire, England
-
-
Parish church Asthall is a village in the Windrush valley, 3.5 miles downstream of the important Taynton quarries. The church consists of chancel, nave, N aisle and 15thc. W tower. The nave is presumably Transitional or earlier since it retains a Transitional N arcade and elements of a Romanesque chancel arch. The N aisle retains in its E wall the crease of its original high-pitched roof, but was otherwise rebuilt in the late 13thc. and later. The chancel is 13thc., as is the N chapel, which was remodelled in the 14thc. The arches from the chancel and N aisle into the N chapel are (pace Pevsner) 13thc., though the latter re-uses two late Romanesque shafts. The whole church was savagely restored in the 19thc., partly in a Romanesque style which confuses analysis of its architectural development.
