St Mary's Church, Slindon

There are two churches in Slindon, separated by 800 years. This is not unusual, since Henry VIII fell out with the Pope. I didn't realise there were two, so the focus here is of the 11th century 'Parish' church (the one which Henry would have supported).

​

Like so many churches, this one started life as a simple two cell structure (Nave and Chancel) but has been much modified over time. This include the addition of a tower in the 16th Century.

​

So much of the modifications have detracted from the beauty that this once must have been, even if restoration/alteration has been done in sympathy with the original building materials. There are some curios both in and out (tomb of Anthony St. Leger, small door on the Northern Wall (externally), some medieval wall art
