Description

Haslingfield has a spacious 14thc. aisled nave with a clerestorey with 16thc. windows, an aisleless chancel whose walls must be 12thc. even if the present windows are 14thc., and a Perpendicular W tower with a lead spike. The chancel has a N vestry, and there is a curious S porch with a curved roof whose lead is dated to 1746. All except the chancel is ashlar faced; that is of pebble rubble. The 12thc. feature here described is a string course on the N and S wall of the chancel.

History

The church was given to St Mary's Abbey, York, by Roger de Somery, c.1100.

String courses
Comments/Opinions

The string course is similar in design and block length to reset stones at Great Shelford, although as the latter are set into a wall it is not clear whether they are single- or double-chamfered.
