Interior of St Andrews Church Sheperdswell, Kent

Interior of St Andrews Church Sheperdswell, Kent
The interior is simple and consists of nave, apsidal chancel and little transepts. The east windows are by the St Helens Crown Glass Co., and represent the Ascension and Four Evangelists. The south window of 1900, by Kempe, shows the Epiphany. The good polished marble decorative shafts to either side of the chancel arch, together with the corbels in the nave, are typical of Ferrey's work. It is a pity that the original font, which was of fine Cornish marble and had matching marble shafts, had to be destroyed, owing to its instability, in 1955.

I am digging out archives! (it was a bit dull)

My thanks to all who visit and comment it is appreciated

It's always interesting to see how, even with simplicity, the typical architecture of Western churches produces admirable perspectives. The canvas, luminous and beautifully coloured, delights the eye, John.
