St Edith (medieval)
Parish church
Eaton-under-Heywood is a small village under Wenlock Edge in the Shropshire Hills. The nearest town of any size is Church Stretton, 4 miles to the NW. St Edith's stands at the end of the lane from the larger village of Ticklerton, alongside the manor site.
St Edith's has a long nave and chancel in one with a tower at the E end of the nave on the S side. The church slopes up steeply from W to E and the chancel is marked by a step but no chancel arch. The nave is 12thc., with two plain Norman windows on the N side and one on the S, and a partially blocked up N doorway and a plain S doorway. The chancel is 13thc in its details but with E windows dating from the restoration of 1869. There is a vestry on the N side of the chancel. The tower dates from c.1200, with a pointed tower arch, very plain, but carved capitals in the bell-openings. The bell opening on the N face of the tower cannot be seen from the ground. There is also a 12thc font. Romanesque features recorded here are the N doorway, the tower bell-openngs and the font.
Parish church
This small church consists of a nave with a bell turret and a chancel. It was rebuilt in 1867 by R. J. Withers who reused a couple of Romanesque elements: the two unmoulded N and S windows in the nave and the chancel arch.
Parish church
The parish church of St Mary is of mostly later medieval date in a large historic village in the west of Kent, 4 miles NE of Sevenoaks. The sole Romanesque feature may be a jewelled-cut font of uncertain date.
