Medieval Glass, Allexton - a photo on Flickriver

Medieval Glass, Allexton

St Peter's church at Allexton dates back to Norman times, which isn't apparent externally owing to medieval rebuilding and Victorian restoration, but upon entering the church one is immediately confronted with the beautifully detailed two-bay north arcade in clear Romanesque style. The arches have alas been mostly renewed (having been blocked for centuries but reopened when the north aisle was rebuilt in the 19th century) but follows the original design closely.

The other main feature of interest within the church is a patchwork collection of fragments of medieval glass in a north aisle window with several good details worth seeking out.

The church is no longer used for regular services and is now maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust who keep the building open for visitors to enjoy. We were pleased to find the church still open at around 6pm, our last open church of the day.
