Inside St Michael's Church, Great Tew
The roofs at Great Tew spoil the interior - flat ceilings with only the chancel roof with some ribs and bosses. In the chancel sits Mary Anne Boulton d.1829 reading a book - her monument by Sir Francis Chantrey in white marble. Behind the wall has received a panelled Gothick recess. The carpets in the chancel are kept rolled back so that visitors can admire the two near-complete brasses here. Wall paintings have been exposed in the south aisle, a lady lies alone in the north aisle, her husband tucked away in a similar recess in the vestry. (Commentary provided by Phil Draper) |
