The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain & Ireland
Old Sarum (medieval)
Parish church
This church was built in 1891 by C.E. Ponting who retained the 14th century south porch and 15th century tower in the new building. The font bowl is the only Romanesque fabric that survives.
Parish church
St John the Baptist has a chancel that was built in the late 13th or early 14th century, although its fenestration mostly dates from the 19th century. The north transept and the north porch date from the first half of the 13th century. The nave was rebuilt in the late 14th century, the west wall of the west tower bearing the roofline of the earlier nave. The base of the central tower dates from c1200 and has chamfered pointed arches and trumpet scallop capitals. However, earlier than this are four fragments of Romanesque carving in the west and north walls of the nave.
Parish church
The church consists of a 13th-century chancel, late 13th-century S aisle, a N aisle of 1755, and a W tower of 1725. The chancel arch appears to date from the 12th century and is extremely wide and flat, as if it has been reset. The S door has 12th-century jambs and a Perpendicular head, one of the most bizarre combinations in the county.
Parish church
A flint and stone church with 12thc. nave (possibly rebuilt in the 13thc.), 19thc. S aisle, early 14thc. chancel and S transept, 15thc. W tower and 19thc. S porch. The church was substantially restored and rebuilt in 1871-3 by G. F. Bodley. During the reconstruction of the S aisle of the nave the 12thc. doorway was reset and the simple N doorway of the nave was also reused. The chancel retains 13thc. windows.
Parish church
Woodford is a civil parish about 4 miles N of Salisbury on the W bank of the River Avon. The church is situated by the river in the village of Middle Woodford. Consisting of a chancel, aisled nave and W tower, it was largely rebuilt by T H Wyatt in 1845, retaining the 15thc tower and S arcade. The S doorway is the building's earliest element and bears its only Romanesque sculpture.
Parish church
The original church was rebuilt between 1866 and 1876 to designs by T. H. Wyatt. The only Romanesque feature is the reused font bowl.
Parish church
The nave of the church has 4 bays of early 13th-century N arcade with double chamfered round arches. It has circular piers with octagonal, chamfered imposts, and capitals decorated with trumpet scallops with stiff-leaf foliage. However, the tall form of the arcades suggests that a dramatic transformation took place in the 15th or 16th century. Buckler illustrated these arcades in the early 19th century (Vol. VIII, plate 59). In c1300 the west tower was added. The only 12th century fabric surviving is a font bowl.
Parish church
The church has nave, chancel, S aisle, S porch, crossing tower, N aisle and N transept. The N arcade of the nave survives from the 12thc. The crossing and N transepts are 13thc. and the chancel is 15thc. The tower dates to 1730. In 1876-77 the church was substantially restored by T. H. Wyatt. There are also 19thc. restorations by Ewan Christian. Romanesque sculpture is found on the N arcade capitals, on reused 12thc. corbels in the north transept and on a 12thc. figure, affectionately known as ‘Rattlebones’, which is set into the east side of the S porch.
Parish church
Yatesbury is a village about 8 miles NW of Marlborough. The church, built of chalk and freestone, lies to the W of the village and consists of a chancel, a 13thc nave and N arcade, one surviving bay of a late-12thc S arcade which now houses the heavily restored and relocated S door, and a 15thc W tower. There is Romanesque carving on the S arcade, the S door, and the font.
Parish church
The church is built of flint and stone in a chequerboard pattern, and consists of a chancel and a nave with a large S transept. During the 19th-century restoration, the 12th-century door was incorporated into the S side of the nave. Some of the stones were reused from the old church.
