St Mary's Church, Long Wittenham
A fairly large building, which has a grand Early English south arcade, and an earlier chancel arch. Here is another lead font - a better example than Warborough but not as good as Dorchester. There are only 29 left in England and we saw three of them on this trip! This font was later encased in wood, the case now surviving in the south aisle as a table. The most interesting feature of this church is easily missed unless you explore carefully - a piscina in the south transept (now a vestry). (Commentary provided by Phil Draper) |
