The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain & Ireland
Wiltshire (now)
Parish church
Cherhill lies 4 km E of Calne. The church is built of stone rubble and is partly rendered. It consists of a 12th-century chancel and nave, S aisle, S porch, 15th century W tower and N vestry. The only clear Romanesque feature is a blocked door in the north wall of the nave.
Parish church
Most of the church is 14thc. with later medieval additions, with restorations in 1842, 1878, 1917 and 1965. Part of the nave wall may be 12thc., but the main object of interest for the Corpus is the 12thc. font.
Parish church
The church, built of flint and limestone ashlar, comprises a nave with N and S aisles and clerestory; a chancel with S vestry and N organ chamber; a W tower; and a N porch. Some elements of the nave arcades date from the late 12thc, although they were rebuilt when the church was restored by T. H. Wyatt in 1855. A new chancel was built at this time and the S aisle of the nave was rebuilt. The responds of the early 13thc chancel arch were retained. Romanesque sculpture is found on some of the arcade capitals, the chancel arch and on a fragment of loose sculpture. In the early 19thc, Buckler illustrated a plain font that was in the church prior to the restoration.
Parish church
Bratton is a village about 2.5 miles E of Westbury and 25 miles NE of Salisbury. The church lies to the S of the village and is largely Perpendicular in date, although it possibly replaced an earlier building. The chancel was rebuilt in 1854 by George Gilbert Scott. The only 12thc carving is the font which has been over-restored.
Parish church
The church has a 12thc. font, south door and two windows in the chancel. However, most of the church dates from the 13th and 14thc. and there is a distinctive, late medieval bell-turret. The sanctuary was added in the 19thc. There is a faculty plan by Chancellor and Hill in Bristol Records Office.
Parish church
This small church consists of a chancel, a nave, and a large double-storied N porch, that was meant to carry a tower (Pevsner, 282). The 19th-century timber chancel arch sits on short shafts with reset 12th-century capitals. The nave, though restored in 1874-6, is Norman in origin, with an early 12th-century S door. A slab that is now part of the altar is also Norman.
Parish church
The church was built in 1844 to designs by T.H. Wyatt and David Brandon. The font dates from the 12thc. and originated from an earlier church.
Parish church
The N and S nave arcades and the north door of the nave demonstrate that the nave dates from the second half of the 12thc. though the clerestory was added in the 15thc. A piscina in the chancel is made from a reused scalloped capital. The chancel has flat buttresses suggesting a Norman origin, though it was altered in the 14thc. The church was restored by William Butterfield in 1847-9.
Parish church
Longbridge Deverill is a village on the river Wylye in SW Wiltshire, 2.5 miles S of Warminster. The church lies to the N of the village and has Saxon origins. The building originally consisted of a chancel and nave; it was dedicated by Archbishop Thomas Becket after 1162, by which time it must have been substantially complete. The aisles, W tower and S porch were added in the 14thc and 16thc. In 1852 the chancel, Bath chapel and vestry were extended eastwards.
Although the present building predominantly dates from the 14th and 15thc, the N nave arcade dates from the first half of the 12thc. The font also dates from the same period.
Parish church
The village is 4 miles E of Chippenham. The church of St Martin has Saxon origins: the NW corner of the nave features long-and-short work. However, the nave arcades date from the 13thc but were restored in 1850. The chancel also dates to the 13thc. The only Romanesque carving is the font.
