Inside St Michael's Church, Urchfont

A closer look at the outside reveals some unusual features such as why is the south transept south window off centre, and why is the chancel so sturdily built - close set windows between buttressing and above a row of quatrefoils and roof with a row of finial-like capping ridge stones. The answer to the second question (but not the first), was waiting inside. The chancel is vaulted, with a lierne vault in six bays.
