Parish church

The Cattons, High and Low, lie a mile south of Stamford Bridge, and almost a mile apart. The church is close to the Derwent. It has an aisled nave with a tower in the westernmost bay of the S aisle, a S porch, a N transept, and a chancel by Street that stands high above the nave. There is a plan in faculty papers at the Borthwick Institute, Fac. 1908/44. The transept survives from what was a cruciform Romanesque church. A Romanesque piscina is reset in the N wall of the vestry.

Hunmanby is a large village in the Scarborough district of Yorkshire, 3 miles SW of Filey. All Saints is large church at the top end of the settlement. It has chancel, nave with N aisle, porch and W tower (Pevsner and Neave 1995, 569; VCH, II 228-45). The interior has woodwork and windows of c. 1845. The nave and chancel however belonged to an aisless Norman church of the late 11th or early 12th century whose plan is still detectable. There is a buttress in the centre of the E wall of the chancel and two lengths of string course in this wall; the roof line can still be seen on the nave E wall. The S doorway has a tympanum, as does the former W doorway which is covered by the slightly later tower: the lower stages of the tower are un-buttressed. The S wall of the tower has four window openings; the W wall has, perhaps, a carved consecration cross. Inside, a simple chancel arch remains, while a plain cylindrical font, broken and no longer in use, is placed in the chancel.

Stisted is a village in the Braintree district of Essex, on the N bank of the river Blackwater and 1½ miles outside Braintree to the NE. The village is a substantial one with a well-defined centre at a junction of minor roads. The church is in the centre, alongside Stisted Hall. All Saints has a chancel with a N vestry, an aisled nave with N and S porches, and a tower sited at the E end of the S aisle, in the angle with the chancel. The nave and its aisles belong to the late-12thc and early-13thc, and the chancel is 13thc too. The tower was rebuilt on older foundations in 1844 as part of a major restoration in the 1840s that also included the construction of the two porches and the rebuilding of the W wall of the nave. This work was undertaken by the squire, Onley Savill-Onley, and the rector, Charles Foster. If an architect was employed, no name is known. Construction is of flint and pebble rubble with some puddingstone conglomerate. The nave arcades are described here although they are not entirely of the 12thc.

Parish church

An interesting unrestored church consisting of a nave, N and S aisles, chancel, N chancel chapel and W tower. Most of this work is 13thc, excluding the upper part of the tower, windows in the N aisle and the chapel. There is a stiff-leaf capital of c. 1200 in the N arcade and two re-set carved corbel stones, one in the S chapel and one in the N chancel chapel.

Parish church

A spired church in a late 13thc. style by G. E. Street, 1862-63. It contains an arcaded font which is probably medieval rather than 19thc.

All Saints, Brixworth is essentially an Anglo-Saxon church, described by Clapham as 'perhaps the most imposing architectural memorial of the seventh century surviving north of the Alps'. The date is based on the 12thc. Peterborough chronicle of Hugh Candidus, who attributed its foundation to Cuthbald, abbot from 675. Fernie (1983) preferred a date between 800 and 860 on the basis of continental parallels, particularly for the exterior ring crypt, the square choir bay preceding the apse, and the probable original form of the wall between nave and choir. The church has a long, unaisled nave of four bays, these marked by wall arches of brick now containing windows. These arches originally led into flanking spaces divided into porticus. East of the nave is the square choir bay, now entered under a broad 15thc. arch, and east of this the apse with three windows. From the exterior the apse is polygonal, but this is a 10thc. modification; it was originally semicircular. Here too can be seen the remains of the ring crypt, original to the design and formerly barrel-vaulted. On the S side of the square choir bay is a chapel of c.1300. At the west end signs of a late 10thc. remodelling are also visible. The west porch was heightened into a tower and a window into the nave added, and on the west wall of the tower a stair turret was added. The tower was heightened again and a spire added in the 14thc. The church is included here on the grounds of a late-Romanesque doorway inserted into the west arch on the S side of the nave.

Parish church

The church of All Saints in Shiptonthorpe has a W tower, a nave with a N aisle, a S porch, and a chancel with a N chapel. It was restored by James Demaine, best seen in Borthwick Fac. 1883/86 which includes a plan and elevations (Pevsner and Neave 1995, 681). There is a Romanesque S doorway composed of three orders and a label. A small carved panel was reset on the gable of the Victorian porch; a pre-restoration photograph shows the plaque immediately above the outer order of the doorway. Three reset stones can be seen on the S face of the tower and adjacent W wall of nave. Within the tower and acting as supports to the first floor, there are eight corbels from the first half of the 12thc (photos in Conway Library by George Zarnecki); four more corbels acting as supports for the wooden ceiling are in the nave.

Parish church

The church was constructed in 1812 and subsequently altered in 1873. It consists of a nave, a chancel and a porch. There is a chamfered bellcote. A Romanesque font has been preserved at the church.

Parish church

W tower built between the 14thc and the 15thc, while the remainder (nave, N aisle, chancel, vestry and S porch) is mid 19thc. The church guide notes under 'Interior' that there is a contemporary drawing of the church which shows the church before the 1853 restoration. As recorded in the church guide, there was a '12thc Norman S wall with typical small windows'. The chancel was built in 1845-6 by Chantrell, and the remainder in 1853 by Cuthbert Brodrick. The pillars of the N arcade are original, probably early 13thc. The font bowl is 12thc.

Parish church

Muggiton is a small village about seven miles NW of Derby. The church lies to the S of the village, and was built of coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings. The structure consists of a chancel, a nave with S aisle, a porch, and a Norman unbuttressed W tower, which is connected to the nave by an early 13thc tower arch featuring semicircular keeled responds and a pointed unchamfered arch. The building was restored in 1894 and, again, in 1925. The only Romanesque features here are found in the W tower and consist of the bell opening and the corbel table.
