We visited here a few weeks ago on a very very hot Summer day & were glad of the cool shady Church to take a break from the heat of the day☀️☀️☀️☀️ Lady St Mary Church in #Wareham is an ancient #MinsterChurch with #Saxon origins associated with a #Priory, until abolished by Henry VIII.  It was substantially modified in #Victorian times. The church is notable as the possible #burial place of #KingBeorhtric King of #Wessex in 802 & for the discovery of five stones with Brittonic #inscriptions dating to the 7th/9th centuries. A notable feature is the unique hexagonal lead font dating to around 1100. This #font is unique, being the only hexagonal lead font in existence. The figures round the bowl depict the 12 #apostles. It has a #Purbeck stone base is about a century later. The Anglo-Saxon #nave was demolished in 1842. The new West Window, designed by master glazier Andrew Johnson, is one of the largest #stainedglass windows installed in a #Dorset #church in recent years. Verger Clive Cherrett, who is also #LadyStMary’s fabric and fittings officer, worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure it became a reality. “When the stone #mason and the artist got up there, they found it was only the polycarbonate sheeting outside, installed in the 1980s, that was stopping the old window from being blown in,” said Clive. “The lead had become so soft, it was only the plastic holding the window in place.”

We visited this lovely Church June 2018 while on holiday in Cornwall. The Parish of St Issey with St Petrochemical Minor (Little Petherick) The Parish Church is partly Norman and was enlarged in the 15th century when the south aisle and tower were built. The tower has been rebuilt twice, c. 1680, and again in 1871. In 1869 the church #tower was struck by lightning and collapsed. Though there was a "lamentable rebuilding in 1871" (Charles Henderson) there are some features of great interest. These include the #reredos and a Pietà of Catacleuse stone which may be fragments of a late medieval monument, possibly that of Lady Matilda Chyverston which is mentioned in a document of 1399. According to local tradition the stonework was originally in the chapel at Halwyn, an estate of the Hamelys. Ruins of the house, chapel and columbarium were mentioned by Henderson in 1925. #StIssey #StIsseyChurch #Cornwall #ParishChurch #WestCountry The lady in the last photo is I believe Margaret Greenaway who had just finished decorating the Church with her beautiful Flowers, wonderful displays 🌸🌼🌺🌹🌿🌾Lovely lady😊
