Parish church
The church largely dates from c1300 and has a 16th century west tower. According to Pevsner, the church was 'cruelly restored in 1851 (JH Hakewill)'. The only Romanesque fabric is a font of the second half of the 12th century.
Parish church, formerly chapel
The nave of the church probably dates from the 14thc. and the chancel dates from the 1860s. The only Romanesque feature is a very simple font.
Parish church
The medieval church dedicated to St. Peter stood south-east of the manor-house. It had a squat tower and aisled nave with south porch, both built of chalk and flint. The small chancel was of worked flint and stone, finished with an elaborately carved parapet said to be ornamented with the arms of the see of Winchester. In 1811 the old church was described as a miserable heap of rubbish held together inside by iron clamps and outside by brick buttresses and was considered by the Astleys to be inconveniently close to their home. The current building was built in 1813 by John Morlidge about 800 m NW of the original site, and the old church demolished. The only Romanesque feature in the building is the 12thc. font.
Parish church
The church is one of the smallest in Wiltshire. It has chequered walls of flint rubble and ashlar, and comprises a chancel and a nave without a division between them. The 12thc. font and a lancet window in the north wall suggest an early origin, but other windows and the west and south doorways are of dates from the late 15th to the early 17thc.
Parish church
The church comprises an apsidal chancel, nave with W bellcote, and N porch. It is
substantially 12thc., the timber bellcote is 19thc. and the brick N porch 18thc. The
walls are coursed rubble.The plain, round-headed N (blocked) and S nave doorways are
12thc. The S doorway has chamfered imposts. Remains of three
round-headed, splayed windows are found on the E, S and N walls of the chancel, and
in the N wall of the nave. Romanesque sculpture is found on the chancel arch.
Parish church
The church has a chancel with an attached vestry on S, nave with attached organ
chamber at the E end, and a wooden N tower with a tall spire over the N porch. The E
end of the nave is probably 12thc. with a 19thc. (1874) extension to the W. The
chancel was also probably 12thc. originally. The chancel arch was rebuilt in the
16thc. The organ chamber, N porch and vestry are 19thc. Much of the exterior is
rendered, the area around the N doorway is uncoursed flint. The N doorway is the only Romanesque feature.
Parish church
The church has a continuous nave and chancel which are Romanesque, or perhaps earlier. A N aisle was added c. 1300 and a square W tower in the late 14thc. The font situated at the W end of the nave constitutes the only Romanesque carving in the building.
Redundant parish church
Allerton Mauleverer is a village 5 miles east of Knaresborough in the West Riding. The medieval church of St Martin was almost entirely rebuilt in a neo-Norman style c.1745-6, retaining only the fourteenth-century S arcade. Leach and Pevsner (2009), 98, call it 'a very strange but not unattractive church... a mixture of Gothick, simplified Burlingtonian Palladian and what seems to be a proto-Neo-Norman - what the C18 would have called 'Saxon''. The plan is symmetrical, cruciform with an aisled nave and a tower over the W bay of the chancel: this plan may in part relate to the medieval building, see Comments. The church was declared redundant in 1971 and came into guardianship of the Redundant Churches Fund (now Churches Conservation Trust) in 1973. No Romanesque remains are visible, but material has been recovered from a small excavation in 1976. No photographs are currently available.
Parish church, formerly chapel
Great and Little Wymondley are a pair of villages in the arable farmland to the E of Hitchin in North Hertfordshire, on the W side of the A1(M). Great Wymondley, to the N, is now the smaller of the two and St Mary’s church stands at the E end of Church Green in the village centre. It consists of a 12thc nave and apsidal chancel; the latter with pointed lancets indicating a 13thc remodelling. The nave has a timber-framed S porch, and a N vestry, both built in Joseph Clarke’s restoration of 1883-84. The nave was heightened in the 15thc and a parapet added, and the 4-storey W tower dates from the same period. Construction is of flint rubble with limestone dressings. Romanesque sculpture is found on the S nave doorway.and the chancel arch, and there is a late-12thc piscina.
