Fellowes Prynne wrote:
Although time has wreaked havoc in this ancient edifice, still more harm
has resulted from so-called “restoration” in the early part of the present
[19th] century. Thus plaster and whitewash cover the walls, an ugly deal roof
replaces the old barrel roof of the nave; fine old windows, probably Norman,
have been taken out and poor ones inserted in their place…
(Church in the West 29 April 1893)
The total restoration, as listed above, was done at a cost of £1000. |
