Great Tew, Oxfordshire - a photo on Flickriver

Great Tew, Oxfordshire

St Michael
This depicts the justly celebrated monument to Mary Ann Boulton d. 1829, by Francis Chantrey dated 1834. This very elegant sculpture of high quality depicts Mary Anne in Grecian costume half reclining and holding an open book. The chancel was restored by Rickman in 1827 for Matthew Boulton Mary Anne's husband who was a Birmingham engineer. The Boulton's came to Great Tew in 1815. Possibly because Great Tew's church had been restored in the earlier part of the nineteenth century the church escaped some of the worst excesses the Victorians later in that century. Great Tew is a very atmospheric church with excellent proportions and texture. I particularly like the fact that there is little stained glass which allows light to flood in and creates a beautiful balance between its exterior environment and its grand interior. If one is in this part of the county Great Tew is not to be missed.Chantrey's Monument at Waterperry
