The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain & Ireland
Southwell and Nottingham (now)
Parish church
The church consists of a chancel with S vestry, nave with S
aisle, N porch and W tower. While the chancel arch dates from the 12thc., the nave and chancel appear to be 13thc. The tower and S aisle were added in the early
14thc. One of the two bells in the truncated tower is said to date from before 1200.
The church was much restored between 1884-89.
Parish church
Selston is a civil parish about 12 miles NW of Nottingham, and the church lies to the W of the town. The building has mid-12th-c origins and consists of a chancel, a nave, a S aisle, a S porch and a W tower; it was extensively restored in 1899 and in 1905 the N aisle was replaced. The Romanesque features are the S doorway, the N arcade, the font and a tomb slab.
Parish church
Warsop is a town about 4.5 miles N of Mansfield and the church of St Peter and St Paul lies on the N bank of the River Meden about 1 mile N of the centre of Warsop. The building has 11thc origins but its layout was subsequently altered until the 16thc, and consists of (chronologically ordered) a W tower, a nave, a porch, a N and a S aisle, a chancel and a clerestory; the small castellated vestry to the S of the chancel contains fragments of late medieval glass dating to the 16thc. Extensive restoration work were carried out in 1872 and 1877. The Romanesque features of this site are two exterior doorways, the tower arch, and a reset slab.
Parish church
Staunton-in-the-Vale is a small village in the Newark and Sherwood district of E Nottinghamshire, 14 miles E of Nottingham and 6 miles S of Newark. The church consists of chancel with N vestry, nave, N aisle, S porch and tower at E end of the N aisle. The present structure is largely of the 14th century. The church was much restored by E J Wilson of Lincoln in 1854 when the current chancel was built. The only Romanesque feature is the font.
Parish church
Cuckney is a village about 7 miles S of Worksop on the River Poulter. The church consists of a dessed coursed rubble and ashlar building with a chancel with a S porch, a N nave with a N vestry and a W tower. Most of the fabric is 13thc and later. The building was extensively restored in 1667, in 1892 and, again, in 1907.
The Romanesque features are the N arcade, the piscina in the S wall of the Sanctuary and the S doorway.
Parish church
The church consists of an integral nave and chancel with W bell-cote and S porch.
The fabric of the building appears to be basically Norman work with later
13thc. windows. Much restoration work was carried out in the 1860s and in 1890,
from when the bell turret dates. There is a very fine
crisply carved limestone hexagonal heraldic font, probably early 15thc. By the
E side of the S porch, half hidden in the grass, is
something which might have been the Norman font (of sandstone with a square
inner tub), but this is not described here.
Parish church
The church consists of a nave, chancel and W tower with S porch and a 20thc. vestry in the N angle of tower and nave. The building has a somewhat complicated architectural history. The church was rebuilt in the 14thc. using many of the old stones, as can be seen outside on the N wall of the chancel. In 1499 money was left for the construction of a rood loft; the incisions in the impost blocks of the chancel arch may date from this time. Between 1760-63 the nave and tower were largely rebuilt and the windows in both nave and tower replaced with round headed ones. The chancel was rebuilt in 1835. There was a further restoration of the building in 1881 when the nave windows were replaced and the sculptural fragments described below (VI Loose Sculpture) came to light when the floor of the nave was lowered by two feet.
Parish church
The centre of Bawtry still shows the plan of a new town ‘founded within a decade or two of 1200’ (Hey 2003, 146); the church is to the E of that, and was beside the river before that was re-directed when the railway came. The church has a W tower, and a nave with N and S aisles which continue and enclose the chancel. The nave N wall is of irregular small stones, the remainder in ashlar. The present tower is said to date from 1713; it may contain stones from Roche, but no reused stones with sculpture were obvious in either the tower or the N wall of the nave. The church is in a mixture of styles, and a mixed fabric of Jurassic limestone and ironstone, ‘with many unexplained details’ (Pevsner 1967, 98).
Few Romanesque features were identifiable: the blocked N doorway is round-headed; bases of the N arcade may be relevant.
Parish church
A parish church consisting of a chancel, nave
with clerestory, N and S aisles, W tower and S porch.
The N aisle arcade is of five bays while the S arcade is of three.
The interior of the church is mostly 13thc. with enlargement and replacement of
the windows and insertion of the clerestory in the 15thc. or 16thc. A portion
of a rood
screen, dating to
about 1500, remains under the tower. Restoration of the church was undertaken
by Ewan Christian in 1892. The only Romanesque feature is the font.
Parish church
The church consists of a chancel, nave, N aisle, S porch and W tower. Portions of the fabric of the Norman church
remain with herringbone masonry evident in the walls. The N
arcade is 13thc. and the S side of the chancel has a 13thc. window, whilst the straight headed window in the N
wall of the chancel and those of the N aisle are 14thc. The S
porch has 14thc. timbers but was rebuilt in 1923.
The Romanesque
features are the chancel arch and the font. The W tower,
though essentially Romanesque in date, has later openings.
