Inside St Peter's Church, Stoke Lyne
The most entertaining features inside were Victorian - a bad font with a conical font cover, the latter with awkward continuous Norman arcading, and the paired “hammer-beam” dragons with metal tie-beams issuing from their mouths, with the latter having prominent white teeth!! Also a strange stone figure occupied the sill of the now blocked west window of the NE bay of the aisle. More awesome were the two brasses in the chancel, one with an unusual depiction of Resurrection of Christ, and the other in a recess above a tomb chest with strapwork and a large crest in the wall above.
