It was removed in the Reformation. In 1913 a Gothic Revival chancel screen was inserted, but without a rood. In 1918 the south aisle of the chancel was reordered to form a Lady chapel.

The limestone building has stone slate roofs. The floors are flagstone. It consists of the nave, which is supported by buttresses, chancel, porch and vestry. Above the roof of the chancel is a bellcote.

All Saints' was built in about 1840, and the chancel was added in 1893. The original part of the church was probably designed by Edward Lapidge, and the chancel probably by J. A. Atkinson.

On the north side of the chancel, there is a marble altar tomb. The nave and chancel have been restored since 1877. The register dates from the year 1560. Its patron was Christ Church, Oxford.

The chancel is plain, with open wood ceiling. Beneath the chancel arch is an oak screen. On the north side is a mural tablet of black marble to the memory of the Rev. William Watson.

A view of the chancel (sanctuary and choir) from the dome.

The oldest part is the chancel which probably first stood alone.

The chancel has three bays, with flying buttresses over the chapel.

At the west end of the chancel gable is a bellcote.

He was buried in the chancel of the church at Newtownards.

A deep gallery ran across the south end, with two small recessed galleries on the east and west sides. The chancel was square, with four Corinthian columns separating it from the nave. Half of it was occupied by the organ gallery, which was supported on pillars, the chancel running in under it and entered by a door at the rear, which communicated by a flight of stairs with the vestry room in the basement. The chancel rail was continued around four sides of the chancel.

The tower, nave and chancel date from the late 12th century. During the following century the tower was raised and the chancel lengthened. A two-bay chapel was added to the north side of the chancel in about 1330. Later in the century windows were added to the lowest stage of the tower and to the west end of the nave.

The rest of the church is much later. The north aisle was first built in the 13th century. A five-light east window was inserted in the chancel in the 14th century. Inside the nave, looking east to the chancel Early in the 19th century the arcade of the north aisle and most of the chancel arch were removed, and galleries were inserted.

The tower screen was formerly in the chancel; it is painted with the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and the Ten Commandments. In the chancel are re- used medieval tiles. Over the chancel arch is part of a 15th-century wall painting of the Last Judgement. The stained glass includes a small 14th- century figure in the east window of the south aisle.

The church is a nave and chancel structure. The chancel probably once had a step-pitched stone roof, with a small attic roof over the chancel. The nave has a square baptismal font, a cross slab and a small round-headed window in the south wall. The west part of the church was added later as a two-storey living quarters.

All roofs are of slate. As originally designed, the nave and its adjacent aisles consisted of one open-plan area demarcated by narrow cast iron columns and piers. A stone chancel arch led to W. Gilbee Scott's chancel, with one bay and a window with tracery work. The vestry was on the north side of the chancel, opposite the organ chamber.

A Norman chapel once stood on this site. The present church was built in the medieval period but only the tower and part of the chancel remain from this date. The chancel is in 14th-century Decorated style and possesses a three-light Decorated window in its east wall. The chancel has a 17th-century oak arch-braced collar roof.

The plan of the church consists of a four-bay nave, a chancel with an apse, and a west tower with a spire. The nave and chancel are constructed in ashlar stone, the nave standing on a flint plinth. The tower is built in knapped flint, with stone quoins and bands. The nave is roofed in Welsh slate and the chancel is tiled.

He erected a Gothic church in place of the former chapel. The Anjou castle's façade was now facing towards the inner palace courtyard, and the long chancel was projecting from the eastern side of the palace. The chancel was built upon a lower church due to a lack of space on the narrow plateau. The church had a nave and an chancel.

The church consists of a Late Romanesque apse, chancel and nave and a Gothic tower and porch, all built of brick. Pilaster strips decorate the corners of the nave and chancel. The apse and chancel have a rounded foundation base. There is a three-sided wall at the east end of the apse while there are round-arched windows in the side walls.

The interior of the church is plastered. Between the nave and the aisles are five-bay arcades with clustered piers and carved capitals. The roof of the nave has scissor-braced trusses with pendants, and is supported by corbels carved as angels. The chancel arch is moulded, the chancel ceiling is panelled and painted, and around the chancel is a painted dado.

The church of St Mary has a 13th-century chancel but the remainder of the building is of the Perpendicular period. The west tower and north aisle are built of ashlar-granite. Features of interest include the old wagon roofs of the chancel, the Norman font, the old screen to the north chancel chapel and the 16th century pulpit.Pevsner, N. (1952) South Devon.

The nave has a 19th-century waggon roof; the chancel has a plain plaster vault. In the chancel there are niches on each side of the east window, and a recess for an aumbry in the north wall. The chancel floor contains two memorial slabs. In the nave is an arch leading to the stairway to a former rood screen.

Pews were replaced with open seating. The chancel was rebuilt and extended by . Gas lighting was installed with standard gaseliers of polished brass and iron. The chancel was fitted with a gas corona with 24 lights.

In the chancel is a triple sedilia, and between the chancel and the chapel is a two-bay arcade with a parclose screen. Around the walls are three-dimensional Stations of the Cross containing crowd scenes.

There are two-light windows in the chancel and the east window is a large three-light window in the Arts and Crafts style. Like the tower, the aisle, nave, porch and chancel walls are crenellated.

The east window has five lights. Inside the church is a west gallery. The chancel screen includes some medieval woodwork, which possibly came from Sawley Abbey. In the chancel are a triple sedilia and a piscina.

Diagonal buttresses support the corners. The east window dates from the 14th century. Gable crosses adorn the chancel and nave. Inside, floral decoration and texts are painted above the arches of the arcades, tower and chancel.

St Thomas' is constructed in limestone with sandstone dressings. The church has a nave, a chancel, and a west tower. The nave contains paired lancet windows and has thin buttresses. The chancel is in Early English style.

The chancel arch dates from the 11th century. It incorporates two Saxon pillars. In the east window is stained glass dating from 1900. In the south wall of the chancel is a 14th-century trefoil-headed piscina.

The tower dates from the 12th century, and the nave and chancel from the 14th century. The south porch was added during the 16th century, and the east wall of the chancel was rebuilt during the 1870s.

The church consists of a nave and a chancel with a west tower. It is built of flint with stone dressings. Brick buttresses support the nave walls. The tower is brick and the chancel roof is tiled.

Stairways on either side of the chancel lead down to the Grotto.

On the gables of the chancel, nave and transepts are cross finials.

There is a five-light east window in the chancel with tracery.

A rood screen and the altar have been placed in the chancel.

In the east wall of the chancel is a five-light window.

Some of the carved corbels for the chancel roof are still present.

The roof of the nave and chancel dates from the 18th century.

In the 13th century the chancel was rebuilt wider and taller. The line of the former 11th century Anglo-Saxon roof against the east wall of the tower can be seen at the west end of the chancel. The concave lozenge at the top of each of the chancel windows is a highly unusual feature for the 13th century. The elaborate aumbry in the north wall of the chancel, with six compartments under three gables, is also unusual and suggests that it was a rich parish at the time.

The manor and church in the neighbouring parish of Keymer had the same ownership. The original dedication of St John the Baptist's Church was All Saints—a common dedication during the Anglo-Saxon era. The standard layout of Anglo-Saxon churches was a tall nave without aisles linked to a smaller, square-ended (not apsidal) chancel by a chancel arch. St John the Baptist's Church follows this form; and the nave and chancel arch, along with parts of the north and south chancel walls, survive from the 11th century.

St Martin's Church Cwmyoy is best known for St Martin's Church which has been called the "most crooked church in Great Britain." St Martin's Church is a stone parish church standing on a steep hillside on the east side of the valley and subject to slippage. The church chancel has been described as a remarkable example of a "weeping chancel", where the nave represents Christ's body and the deflected chancel his head fallen sideways in death. At Cwmyoy not only the axis but the whole chancel slews sideways.

It was enlarged and modified by F.R. Kempson of Hereford in 1870, and was listed in 1973. The church, of Gothic Revival style, and constructed in red sandstone with a tiled roof, comprises a nave, a chancel, a two-stage west tower with a shingle broach spire, and a south porch. The chancel and nave are part of a continuous structure separated by a chancel arch, a tower arch at the west dividing the nave from the tower. The chancel east end sanctuary is within a polygonal apse.

The chancel arch is a depressed or three-centred type. There is a doorway from the north wall of the chancel to the vestry The windows are Noman narrow round-arched type in the chancel with restored square-headed Perpendicular windows on the south side of the nave and chancel The west wall has two lancets mentioned before with a two-light Victorian window to the aisle. On the north side is a pair of two-light windows within a wide segmental arch and a renewed Norman doorway between them best seen from the outside.

In 1883 Arthur Blomfield restored the south chancel chapel, and in 1887 J. Loughborough Pearson rebuilt the east wall of the chancel and reconstructed the east window. Pinnacles were added to the tower, or were restored, in 1904.

The chancel windows have pointed arches, and the two windows on the south of the nave are square-headed. There is a priest's door in the south wall of the chancel. There are stone benches inside the porch.

The limestone building has hamstone dressings. It has a three-bay nave and north aisle along with a chancel and vestry. The chancel barrel vault roof was built in the 16th century. Over the porch is a sundial.

Porch in the south wall. Portions of the nave and chancel remain. The Alen vault is located at the east end of the chancel. The east gable has an ogee window, and the west gable has a belfry.

The nave and inner aisles have plastered walls while the outer aisles and chancel have exposed stone walls. The south aisle has a flagstone floor, the chancel a tiled floor while the aisle chapel has a mosaic floor.

There is no division between the nave and the chancel, and the transept is fully open to the body of the church. The east window dates from the 14th century and was resited when the chancel was rebuilt.

Early in the 17th century the chancel was in disrepair and the lay rector was repeatedly asked to fund repairs. In 1621 the chancel was reported to be so "ruinous and much decayed" that the rain came in.

The sides have tall windows with round arches. The chancel was added in 1788; it has an apsidal east end with a Venetian window. It is thought that Enoch Wood, the churchwarden, instigated the building of the chancel.

The chancel roof is wagon-vaulted. Attached to the west wall of the porch is a fragment of a Saxon cross-shaft and in the east wall of the chancel is a Norman capital, which is set horizontally.

The nave is constructed in limestone with some brick, and the chancel is in lias. The nave is roofed with old tiles, while the tiles roofing the chancel are from the 20th century. The plan of the church consists of a two-bay nave and a single-bay chancel with a south porch that was used as a vestry. At the west end is a single bellcote.

It is used as the lintel of the doorway. Part of another gravestone, dating from the 9th to the 11th centuries and with a cross in a circle, is set to the right of the door. Inside, three steps lead up from the nave to the chancel through a decorated chancel arch. A further two steps lead up from the chancel to the sanctuary.

However, nothing exists of the Norman chancel. Above the present modern chancel arch is a pointed opening, now filled in, which may have been a window. Beneath it, the line of the original Norman nave roof is visible. The chancel, considered modern in the 1800s, features windows containing excellent specimens of stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe, in memory of the late Sir George Grey of Fallodon.

In 1861 and 1862, which were the early years of the Confederacy, the transepts and an apsidal chancel were constructed under the direction of Edward Brickell White. In 1890, a memorial stained-glass window in honor of Dr. Peter Shand was installed in the chancel. Later in the decade, additions included a Jardine chancel organ, choir stalls, a choir room, the eagle lectern, and the pulpit.

By the 13th century, the church had a stone-built nave and chancel; the latter survives in the present building, as does a 12th-century font which was probably taken from the building in place at that time. A chancel arch was inserted between the nave and chancel in about 1300. The dedication to Saint Margaret is later: it was first recorded in 1489.

The east wall of the chancel is brick and contains a three-light window. At the northeast corner of the chancel is a stone and flint buttress. In the north wall of the chancel, and in the eastern bay of the nave, are wide single lancet windows. The other bays of the north wall of the nave contain two- and three-light windows, and a doorway.

At that time it consisted of a continuous nave and chancel under one roof, with narrow side aisles, and a detached tower. In 1450 a clerestory and new roof were added, and the aisles were widened. The tower was replaced in 1533 when the old one had become ruined. In 1888 the chancel was largely rebuilt by J. S. Crowther and a chancel arch replaced the tympanum.

Nikolaus Pevsner In 1856 the church was enlarged with the addition of a chancel, to a design by the architect Charles Edge. The building was transformed in 1884-5 by the addition of the existing spacious and lofty nave, chancel and south aisle by the leading Birmingham architect J. A. Chatwin. The old nave became the north aisle, and the old chancel the Lady Chapel.

The church is constructed in stone with slate roofs. Its plan consists of a nave and a chancel under a single roof, a south transept acting as a chapel, and a north porch. On the west gable is a bellcote, and on the chancel gable is a weathered cross. There are no windows in the nave, and the chancel has only a two-light east window.

In 1994 a new chancel organ was installed in the chamber under the bell tower. Consisting of 18 stops in 3 divisions, with mechanical key and electric stop action, this small organ is designed to accompany choirs singing in the chancel. Electric over-ride enables both the chancel organ and the west organ to be played simultaneously from a third and free-standing console.

The north aisle windows have reset panels of a Jesse window from around 1330–40 depicting 16 figures. Some medieval glass also survives in the south chancel windows. There are six windows with 19th-century stained glass in the north and south aisles and also in the chancel. South chapel In the chancel floor is the gravestone for John Heton, rector of Lowick from 1406 to 1415.

The pointed tower arch, of three chamfered orders, is blocked and flanked by semi- circular headed niches. The chancel arch is pointed, has dog-tooth moulding and is supported on short columns with foliated capitals. Similar detailing has been used by Street throughout the chancel. Throughout the church there are wagon roofs, plastered in the nave and aisles and ornately painted in the chancel and transepts.

A further restoration was carried out between 1904–05. The chancel was lengthened by to make room for an organ which was the gift of Mr Tilby of Teignmouth in memory of his wife. A stained glass window was added to the chancel in memory of William Henry Smith. A new chancel screen was erected to a similar design to that removed in 1856.

The western facade has a brick arcaded verandah echoing the octagonally shaped chancel. Internally the church is dominated by the coffered interior of the dome at the intersection of the nave and transepts. This is supported on four wide arches, which span the internal width of the church, one of which forms the chancel arch. The chancel features an ornate marble altar and a large Italian painting.

The present Church of Ireland building occupies the site of the nave of the old building; only the chancel and transepts survive. The chancel has an aumbry, sedilia, piscina, tomb canopy and two doorways: one transitional and one Gothic. There are three lancet windows in the east gable. The old chancel and the north and south transepts contain one of Ireland's largest collections of medieval funerary.

At the same time the pulpit was moved to the north side of the chancel screen and the choir seated in the chancel. The inaugural recital was given in May 1914 by the organist of Temple Church, Walford Davies.

St Bartholmew's is constructed in sandstone rubble with tile roofs. The exterior of the church is partly rendered. Its plan is simple and consists of a nave, chancel and south porch. The nave measures by , and the chancel by .

Above the west door is a gabled dormer window. The chancel has a semicircular- headed window. The east and north walls of the chancel retain their timber framing. At the east end is a window with a semicircular head.

To the left of the chancel is another recess that forms a chapel.

The panelled ceiling in the chancel dates from the 19th or 20th century.

He was buried in an unmarked grave in the chancel of his church.

His monumental inscription may still be seen in the chancel of Kirtling Church.

Mosaic work in the chancel of St John's Church, Torquay installed in 1866.

The nave roof was replaced 1951–53, and the chancel roof in 1956.

The east window in the chancel has a 14th-century five-light window.

The chancel was added in the 19th century and the transepts in 1841.

The south wall has a blocked doorway. The church consists of nave and chancel only. Such two-cell structures are common in the South Downs area of Sussex. The nave measures , and the chancel is much shorter and slightly narrower at .

The chancel stalls date from 1934. The church contains a chapel to the Royal British Legion. The interior was renovated in July 2013. The church incorporated the original Norman chancel arch which now links the south aisle with the belltower.

An archway separates the chancel from the vestry, but there is no arch leading into the nave. The roof has king posts inside. The outside walls are buttressed. Medieval stained glass is still visible in some of the chancel windows.

The church is built in brick with a stone slate roof. The plan consists of a four-bay nave with a small chancel. Each bay has a round-arched window. The chancel has a Venetian window and a hipped roof.

As many chantry chapels and manorial chapels were situated at the east end (closest to the holy city of Jerusalem) of the north or south aisles, next to the chancel, frequently they lay within the area enclosed by the chancel screen.

The church is constructed in stone with tiled roofs. Webb's additions are in Bromsgrove sandstone. The plan consists of a nave with a south porch, a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower. The chancel contains Norman features.

The toothed cornice is decorated a saw-toothed trimming which runs along pilasters to the chancel gabel. The nave walls are similarly decorated with cornices and pilasters. The chancel windows resemble those of the apse but they have been extended downwards.

The church dates from the Norman era. There is some Anglo-Saxon material in the nave. The chancel and north aisle were added in the 12th century. During the following century the chancel was extended and the west tower was built.

On the north side of the chancel is a medieval Easter Sepulchre. Opposite on the south side is the sedilia. The carvings on these two features are considered amongst the best in England. 'Hawton Church and its Mysterious Chancel', Revd.

The pulpit is in Caen stone and marble. The altarpiece is a painted polyptych depicting the Te Deum. Between the nave and chancel is a wrought iron screen with gates in the centre. The chancel is floored with encaustic tiles.

The rest of the church has windows dating to the Victorian restoration of 1878-80. View from the nave towards the chancel with the Orleigh Chapel in the corner Demi-figure memorial to Phillip Vening who died in 1658 aged six In the chancel are two 19th- century piscinae, that on the right being fitted with part of a 14th-century cusped head; the nearby panelled reredos is late Victorian, as are the boarded waggon roof to the chancel and the arch-braced roofs to the nave and the south aisle. The chancel has a two-bay arcade to the north leading to the Orleigh Chapel dating to the 14th-century while the chancel arch is of the 19th- century.

In churches with less traditional plans, the term may not be useful in either architectural or ecclesiastical terms. The chancel may be a step or two higher than the level of the nave, and the sanctuary is often raised still further. The chancel is very often separated from the nave by altar rails, or a rood screen, a sanctuary bar, or an open space, and its width and roof height is often different from that of the nave; usually the chancel will be narrower and lower. In churches with a traditional Latin cross plan, and a transept and central crossing, the chancel usually begins at the eastern side of the central crossing, often under an extra-large chancel arch supporting the crossing and the roof.

In many Methodist churches, communicants receive holy communion at the chancel rails, devoutly kneeling. The rite of confirmation, as well as the imposition of ashes on Ash Wednesday takes place at the chancel rail in many Methodist parishes. The chancel rail also serves as the place where many individuals go, during the part of the Methodist liturgy called the Altar Call or An Invitation to Christian Discipleship, to experience the New Birth and some people who have already had the New Birth go to the chancel rails to receive entire sanctification, while others go there repent of their sins, as well as pray; during this time a Methodist minister attends to each person at the chancel rail, offering spiritual counsel.

In south wall of the chancel is a double piscina and a stepped sedilia. There are hammerbeam roofs in the nave, the south aisle, and the chancel. The north aisle has a tie-beam roof, and there is a lierne vault in the base of the tower. The walls of the nave and aisles are covered in red-brown plaster, while those in the tower and chancel are bare.

The wooden roofs of the nave and chancel are well preserved, and the nave and chancel are separated by a 14th-century wooden screen. The chancel walls consist of the original timber-framing while the brickwork of the nave is painted to simulate it. All the church fittings are relatively new other than the pulpit which dates from 1633. The gallery at the west end was erected in 1786.

The original fabric of the Nave is earlier than that of the Tower and the Chancel. There have been perpendicular insertions in the Nave and the Chancel was rebuilt in the 15th or 16th century, and again restored in the early 19th century. The present Chancel is about three feet narrower than the original one. The Porch is original, the outer door having jamb-shafts of Early English character.

The bays are separated by shallow weathered buttresses that terminate in triangular gablets above the coped parapet which has pierced quatrefoils above the chancel. The nave and chancel are differentiated by their windows. The nave has three-light windows below blank arches while the chancel has four-light windows with reticulated tracery. The east window between angled buttresses topped by crocketted pinnacles has seven lights decorated with flowing reticulated tracery.

The exterior walls are covered in white plaster—a common feature of churches in the medieval era. The nave and chancel are separated by a chancel arch whose "austere" and "broad simplicity" is indicative of early Norman design. The surface has "discreet", subtly ring-moulded imposts which hardly interrupt the smooth lines. Certain other features suggest Saxon influence, including the square east end of the chancel and the substantial, blocky quoins.

All Saints' Church The parish church of All Saints stands on a small rise in the northwest of the village. The body of the church dates from the 12th century, and the south doorway and chancel arch survive from that period. In the 15th century the nave was largely rebuilt, and the chancel and tower added. Restoration in 1885 by C.E. Ponting saw the rebuilding of the chancel.

The lady chapel is south of the chancel, was completed in 1489 and has a squint to the high altar in the chancel. The church was restored 1877–84 to designs by the Gothic Revival architect James Brooks. The chancel received a stained glass east window made by Alexander Gibbs in 1871. Little of Brooks' work at Northleach survives, except for his choir stalls in the north aisle.

Most of the remains, of the nave and part of the chancel, date from the 1100s. In the 1300s the chancel was enlarged; the east end of the church is less well constructed than the remaining parts. There is a finely-carved Romanesque chancel arch. In the grounds are the remains of a well and the foundations of a manse, which was still in use in the 16th century.

In 1885 the chancel was retiled and carved fronts added to the choir stalls. In 1892 a new organ chamber for a new organ was constructed north of the chancel. In 1895 a screen was erected so as to convert the former organ chamber into a choir vestry. At the same time the choir stalls were rearranged, so that the choir could thereafter sit on either side of the chancel.

The chancel retains its medieval hammerbeam roof but the roof of the nave was replaced in pitch pine in the 1878 restoration. The chancel is panelled with oak which had previously been used for the pews. An oak screen is between the chancel and the chapel. The organ has been placed at the west end of the chapel and the rest of it is used as a clergy vestry.

The lower chancel and the nave are both from Norman times, built out of coursed boulder flint and ironstone with Caen dressings. In the chancel, outlines of a south window and a priest's doorway are visible, and a blocked north window is present in the nave. The west doorway dates from the 13th century. The chancel was lengthened circa 1300, and contains a mutilated two-light east window.

The earliest known written record of the Church of England parish church of Saint Olave is from 1103. The building was originally Norman, and the north and south doorways and original chancel arch survive from this time. Early in the 13th century the chancel was rebuilt and the bell-tower and south aisle and were added. The chancel retains two Early English Gothic lancet windows from this rebuilding.

Both the chapel and the chancel have three-light windows. On the north wall are a two-light and a three-light window, while on the west wall are two three-light windows. Inside the chancel is a chancel arch and a two-bay arcade. There are a number of memorials, the most important of which are to the Earls of Strafford and other members of the Wentworth family.

The vestry is formed by dark stained timber panelling with cross bracing. Aligned with the transepts in the nave is a choir area, separated from the body of the church by stepped platforms. The sanctuary in the chancel is demarcated by two adjacent round chancel arches. (These arches are defined externally by the two parapeted gable ends.) Between the two chancel arches is a recessed bay housing round arched openings.

A Gothic chancel arch much narrower than the body of the church separates the chancel from the nave. The southern nave too is conspicuously segregated from the main nave. Between two round arches, a column decorated with coloured plaster bears the weight of the ceiling between the main and lateral naves. The chancel and the altar cannot be seen from some of the seats in the lateral nave.

Near the font is a well preserved chest of unusual design. The 14th Century flint tower which contains 5 bells is plain decorated of three stages without buttresses with a late brick parapet. In 1887 the chancel was thoroughly restored by the late JH Heigham. In the same year the chancel floor was relaid with mosaic work by Major C Heigham who in 1882 placed 6 new windows in the chancel.

In the south wall of the tower is a marble plaque recording the restoration of the church in 1861. Around the chancel apse is blind arcading consisting of marble shafts and limestone arches with decorated capitals, rising from a string course. The reredos, chancel floor and chancel walls are covered with elaborately decorated Minton tiles. Some of the stained glass is by Ward and Hughes, and the rest is by Powell.

The pulpit dating from about 1700 was destroyed by vandals in 1971. In the chancel, a small chapel known as the Founder's Tomb projects from the north wall. A single fragment of medieval stained glass is in one of the chancel windows. The 15th-century chancel roof was damaged during the Second World War, but the parts that have survived include bosses carved with flowers, fruit, shields and angels.

The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary the Virgin was originally a 12th-century Norman building but few details survive from that period. The chancel and south transept are 13th century, the Decorated Gothic tower forms the north transept and is mid-14th century. The nave, chancel arch and chancel roof were renewed in the 15th century. The Perpendicular Gothic south chapel was added in about 1520.

The church dates from 1726. The chancel was added in 1890 by William Bidlake.

Also at this time a squint between the aisle and the chancel was revealed.

He was buried at Chinnor in Oxfordshire, originally in the chancel of the church.

In the chancel is a round-headed priest's door and another round-headed window.

The natural philosopher and meteorologist George Hadley (1685–1768) is buried in the chancel.

The church was originally built without a chancel and this was added in 1899.

In the chancel is a Saxon cross set in a Roman block of stone.

A parapet decorated with a quatrefoil frieze runs round the top of the chancel.

The central tower rises stumpily above the roofs of the nave and long chancel.

In the middle of the 14th century the division between the nave and chancel was moved back to where it had been in the 12th century. The 13th- century chancel arch was removed, but its imposts remain in the north and south walls of the chancel. An arch was cut in the north wall of the chancel, presumably to connect with a new chapel. Alabaster effigies of Sir William Wilcote (died 1410) and his wife After 1439 this chapel was replaced with a new Perpendicular Gothic style chapel, which has fine fan vaulting of unusually high quality for a parish church.

These may be of late nineteenth- or twentieth-century origin as Meade reports in an 1838 visit that few repairs were evident.Meade II 149 The present edifice, however, shows alterations to almost all of the surfaces: south wall of porch; west wall of porch; upper right part of south wall; south wall under window and lower left corner; vertical line between window and eastern doorway; water table between window and eastern doorway; chancel wall on east; chancel gable; chancel water table; north wall of chancel around small window; north gable apex; west wall lower left; north wall of nave ; west wall of nave.

He also points to the 13th-century chancel arch containing "most oddly, two plain Norman imposts", these too possibly previously placed elsewhere, a view supported by Cox. Above the arch are indications of the earlier chancel roof line, and on the chancel arch wall, above the pulpit on which is carved figure of John the Evangelist, is a small doorway to a former rood screen upper level loft. Within the chancel is a further arcade leading to the late Perpendicular north chapel. The Perpendicular west tower arch relates in style to the arcades and is edged with a quatrefoil frieze.

The church is constructed in sandstone. Its architectural style is Perpendicular, following the style of the church it replaced. The plan consists of a six-bay nave, a two-bay chancel, both of which have a clerestory, a south aisle with a porch at its west end, a north aisle with a two-bay chapel at the west end and a tower at its junction with the chancel, and a vestry to the north of the chancel. Between the nave and the chancel are the octagonal turrets remaining from the medieval church; these have crocketed caps.

The Church of England parish church of Saint Faith has a late 12th century Norman nave and chancel. The church still has its Norman chancel arch, south door, priest's door and part of the north door. The west tower is an Early English Gothic addition from the early part of the 13th century. In the 14th century the chancel was rebuilt with Decorated Gothic windows and a Decorated window was inserted in the south wall of the nave. In about 1400 a chapel was added to the north side of the chancel, but it does not survive.

The east window of the chancel also has three lights. There are two two- light windows in the south wall of both the chancel and the nave. All the windows are Perpendicular in style. The south porch is gabled with cusped bargeboards.

Interiors have a neo-baroque twist. Naves are separated by stuccoed arcades, embellished with Rococo ornamented cartouches. The three naves, the chancel and the three apses boast barrel vaults and lunettes. The chancel is enclosed with six monumental Ionic style capital columns.

The church consists of a chancel, vestry, three-bay nave and south chapel. The chancel has a wagon roof with plastered barrel vault. The crenellated three-stage tower is supported by diagonal buttresses. Inside the church is a hexagonal Jacobean style pulpit.

The windows on the side of the chancel have two lights, and its east window is large, with five lights. There is a doorway on the south side of the chancel. In the north vestry are two-light windows and a rose window.

On each wall of the tower are two tall Belfry louvres. St John's has a nave with low aisles, tall transepts and an apsidal chancel. The nave has cylindrical columns with circular caps. The chancel has a Gothic style screen and wooden panelling.

The roofs of the nave, transepts and chancel were replaced. The chancel roof was embellished with carving from timber taken from the church at Phillack, which had been restored 10 years before. The reredos was painted by John Sedding, brother of the architect.

The Madonna in the chancel is probably North-German from the mid-15th century which previously stood in the 13th-century chapel in Arild. The 14th-century crucifix which used to hang on the chancel arch is now in the Lund Museum.

Built of fine granite stonework, the Romanesque church is unusually large. The outer walls are plastered and whitewashed while the roof is of red tile. The chancel has retained its Romanesque windows. Compared to the chancel, the nave is higher and wider.

This is plain, with a raised chancel. There was formerly a wooden chancel screen. The doorway has twisted balusters and is dated 1698. In the church is a painted memorial plaque to the Whitehead family, which is probably by Randle Holme III.

The chancel has a Norman window; the other windows date from 1891. In the chancel is a piscina and aumbry dating possibly from the 12th century. On its east gable is a cross finial and on the west gable is a bellcote.

The vestry lies to the northeast alongside the chancel. It runs into the north aisle which extends to the west end. Again the roof is of metal. The nave and chancel roofs are pitched and tiled, the latter with traditional Kent tiles.

The front of the church The church is medieval with major 19th-century alterations. The chancel is mid C13, the north nave doorway is C13 or C14. The chancel has a C15 restored south nave window. A C15 plain Octagonal limestone font.

It shows a flying angle crowning the Virgin Mary with Jesus watching. The chancel arch dates from the 19th-century restoration. There used to be a wooden rood loft at this point which was reached from a stair in the north chancel.

Both chapels contain memorials to local families, and both chapels have screens dated 1636. In the chancel is an 18th-century chandelier. The octagonal font stands on a plain column and has an ornate Jacobean wooden cover. The chancel panelling has linenfold carving.

Each bay contains a two-light window. The south porch is constructed mainly of timber. Between the nave and the chancel is a buttress. The south wall of the chancel contains a three-light window, and the east window has four lights.

The former chancel is now the nave of the Church of St Thomas the Martyr.

Clad in tulipwood, the ark allows the chancel to be retained at its original scale.

The southern side window was inaugurated in 1961. The three chancel windows are from 1982.

Five black-and-white marble steps, formerly in York Minster, lead up to the chancel.

Later, in 1819, a new vestry was added to the north wall of the chancel.

Chancel of the cathedral. Nave of the cathedral. Building development. Chapel of the Holy Chalice.

The previous year, the church itself had been extended with the addition of a chancel.

It comprises a west steeple, nave with aisles, chancel, north vestry and south east chapel.

The chancel portch was added in 1905. There is a black and white marble dloor.

A raised tiered choir loft is behind the chancel with the screened organ chambers behind.

A new nave was built east of the tower in place of the Anglo-Saxon chancel, with north and south aisles flanking it and a new chancel extending further east, all in the Early English Gothic style. Early in the 13th century the arch between the tower and the new nave was enlarged, a third chancel was built east of the 12th-century one, and the 12th-century chancel was made part of the nave. Early in the 14th century both aisles were extended westwards, flanking the tower on both sides, and arches were cut in the tower to link with the aisle extensions. New Decorated Gothic style windows were inserted in the east end of the chancel, the west end of the nave and along the south aisle.

The church has a chancel long and wide, with a nave of and aisles which run the full length of the nave and chancel, and wide respectively. The tower is by . The aisle walls are made of ashlar, mainly perpendicular in character. The east wall of the chancel is built of rubble, and is earlier than the ashlar walls of the aisles and chapels, believed to be part of the medieval church.

This church in the 12th century probably consisted only of a nave without aisles and a small chancel. In the middle of the 13th century the north and south aisles were added with the nave arcades and the nave may have been lengthened by one bay. In the first half of the 14th century the chancel arch was added and the chancel rebuilt. The west tower and clerestorey were added later in that century.

Two years later, the Revd George C Waller added a seat in the chancel. Between 1879–1880 restoration work was undertaken under the auspices of Captain A.G. Roe. A chancel was also added. Over the next two decades, a new organ was installed, the chancel was paved with tessellated pavement, the present brass lectern replaced the old one, a new stained glass East window was installed, and an oak litany desk was donated.

They are separated by a chancel arch. The walls are of rubble laid in courses with sandstone dressings, except for the tower (which is ashlar) and the Victorian north aisle, whose walls are in the style of crazy paving. The east windows in the chancel and north aisle have -tracery, and a small oculus is set below the gable of the chancel wall above the main window. The roof is tiled with Horsham Stone.

Between the chancel and the nave on the south side is a turret containing the stairs leading to the walkways behind the parapets. The east window in the chancel is large, with seven lights, and the chapel has a five- light east window. The south wall of the chancel has two bays, each containing a pair of two-light square-headed windows. The tower is in three stages with string courses separating the stages.

The chancel has a seven-light pointed east window. The chancel and nave are under a continuous flat-pitched oak panelled roof from 1884 following the lines of the older structure. In the early 15th century the church was extended by adding a new chancel and later widened by adding the north aisle. Sometime later the church was again extended by adding a third bay, and the south side rebuilt with three arches.

This feature was copied from St Barnabas Church, Hove. Inside, the lack of a chancel arch creates a large single space, enhanced by the nave and aisles having the same roofline. The roof is timber-framed with king posts, tie-beams and double trusses (in the absence of a chancel arch, these form the only demarcation between the nave and chancel). There is also a smaller timber-framed roof in the separate south chapel.

When built the church seated 700. (NB The chancel and Lady Chapel, both in a later Decorated English Gothic style, were not completed until 1903). At the entrance to the chancel was an open, oak screen, and in the chancel itself were the choir stalls arranged collegiate fashion, leading up to an altar. A magnificent organ was made by J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd, and was latterly maintained by Hill, Norman and Beard Ltd.

The three outward facing sides contain a single trefoil-headed belfry opening. A taller stair turret, with battlements and gargoyles, is attached to the north-east corner. Internally, the arches between nave and chancel and between nave and tower are round- headed and rest on tufa columns. The nave and chancel roofs are of common rafters with three moulded and braced tie beams to the nave and plain and unbraced tie beam to the chancel.

The chancel arch was blocked up by a stone-and-wooden structure, in the centre of which was placed a door. This structure remained in place for over 500 years. Thus, the chancel arch was exposed to the elements for this period, and it is remarkable that it has remained in such a good state of preservation. It was not until the 19th century that it became once again the chancel of the present cathedral.

The aisles are divided from the nave by a colonnade of timber arches supporting the main roof formed from timber posts and decorative timber brackets. The chancel is separated from the nave and crossing by a timber framed chancel arch with a variation of a rood screen formed in timber supporting a wooden crucifix. All timberwork is unpainted. The chancel is slightly raised and contains the altar which is formed from carved English oak.

There was a church at Purton no later than the 12th century; a capital from that time still exists in the wall of the nave, which was built in the early 13th century. The chancel dates from the late 13th century. The central tower, transept and a chapel south of the chancel were added in the 14th century. Restoration was carried out in 1872 by William Butterfield, when three walls of the chancel were rebuilt.

One of the chancel walls has two trefoil light windows believed to be from the 13th century. One of these windows may have been used for the ringing of a Sanctus Bell. The building is constructed of stone with slate roofing, with the roof for the chancel being lower than the nave. Still in the chancel is the lepers' window, where those with contagious diseases could view church services without coming into contact with others.

Nave and chancel from tower arch The church walls and ceilings are rendered and painted white throughout. All windows are glazed with translucent rectilinear glass panels, in clear, red or blue. All flooring is plain red tiling except on the raised chancel sanctuary behind the altar rail where there is added bands of black, white and brown. The chancel east window is part of the 19th-century restoration, but with the use of a c.

A chancel arch flanked by decorative niches separates the chancel from the nave. A change in floor finish and level defined by a marble altar rail also mark the sanctuary as a different kind of space. The chancel, roofed by a dome, is more richly finished than the rest of the church. It has a mosaic tiled and marble floor, quatrefoil stained glass windows over pilasters surmounted by arches in low relief.

At the same time a new oak pulpit was given in memory of Mrs. Roberts of Queen's Tower, Sheffield, and a new font was provided by Mrs. George Greaves of Sheffield, and Mr and Mrs Goodliffe of Norton provided a chandelier for the chancel. Unfortunately, some of the work in the new chancel was defective and two months later the cross on the chancel was blown down in a heavy gale of wind.

At the east end of the north aisle still remain the steps of the rood loft, in a good state of preservation. On the south side of the chancel is a sedile of two stalls under semi-circular arches and a piscina. The font is very large, and octagonal, having two sculptured human heads annexed to two of its western angles. The chancel arch is pointed, and the chancel itself is spacious.

The external walls which are clad with weatherboard sheeting, sit on a concrete base. The church has a simple rectangular plan, with a chancel alcove at the eastern end. To the south of the chancel is a small vestry, accessed both from the nave and from an external door in the western wall of the vestry. The chancel has a separate gabled roof, much lower than that of the nave but of the same pitch.

The church has a rectangular nave, a square chancel, and a semicircular apse. Archaeological studies of the structure indicate that the apse was built later. The arch leading to the apse has the same configuration as the arch to the chancel, suggesting that they may have been created at the same time. It is therefore assumed that an older wooden church stood east of the chancel and was later replaced with the apse.

The chancel and nave date from the 12th century; the chancel was lengthened in the 13th century. The tower was added in the middle of the 15th century. In 1834 the porch and vestry were added; these are attributed to the Kendal architect George Webster.

Inside the church is a west gallery carried on Doric columns. The gallery is panelled, as are the nave and chancel to dado height. In the chancel the panelling is divided by fluted pilasters. The font is an 18th-century baluster with an octagonal bowl.

The windows in the nave have two lights, and those in the chancel have three lights. Inside the church, the nave is divided from the chancel by a low wall and a double chamfered arch. The organ was built in 1871 by Gray and Davidson.

The rest of the roof has plain ceilings. The font has an ogee-shaped wooden cover and the south wall of the chancel contains a piscina. Two monumental brasses are set into the chancel floor dedicated to John and Dorothy Hooper (d. 1617 and 1648).

South Petherwin Methodist Church The church consists of a chancel, nave, north and south aisles, and vestry. The chancel was restored in the 19th century. The arcades each consist of six four-centred arches, supported on monolith granite pillars. There are north and south porches.

Interior of Hopesay church c.1910s Inside the church is a west gallery carried on cast iron columns. The nave roof is medieval, and the chancel ceiling is canted with painting in the east bay. In the chancel are a piscina and a sedilia.

A small nave must have existed adjacent to the chancel arch. Apparently a small Romanesque chancel tower church was converted in 1300 into a massive bergfried. Later, a new chapel was built to replace it. This later chapel was secularised in 1808 and eventually demolished.

Restoration began in 1988 and was completed in 1989, the roof was restored using timber partly salvaged from the fire. Six former rectors are buried within the chancel (see the list of previous clergy). A gargoyle on the eastern part of the north chancel wall.

In most Oxford Movement churches, the organ speaks across the chancel. This was the case at St Mary's until 1984 when the great organ division was turned through 90 degrees so that the organ now speaks into the nave as well as across the chancel.

The church is built in sandstone ashlar both externally and internally. It has a clerestory and a chancel with an apse, the chancel being higher than the nave. At the west end are three small lancet windows with stained glass by Edward Reginald Frampton.

The chancel and vestry were rebuilt between 1886 and 1887 by Fisher and Hepper. The chancel was rebuilt and was long and wide. It included a new vestry and organ chamber. The west front was reconstructed in 1902 to 1905 by Charles Hodgson Fowler.

The church was remodeled in 1908 and extensively renovated in 1959. Galleries in Wren's original design but never constructed were installed, and a new chancel was added. Other than repairs of war damage and the chancel addition, the structure reflects the original 1769 construction.

In the eastern gable of the nave there is a round window. The chancel clerestory is similar, but has a plain parapet. The south chancel chapel continues the south aisle. The second window from the east steps up over a 15th-century priest's door.

The building is constructed of finely cut ashlar blocks. It is simply designed with a nave and a smaller chancel. The nave and chancel are partitioned by a striking Romanesque arch. A baptismal font, contemporary with the building, sits in the corner of the nave.

In the church the piers carrying the arcade are very slender. At the entrance to the tower, the chancel and the chapel are tall, painted perpendicular arches. In the tower are the organ and the choir gallery. The chancel arch contains a rood screen.

In the southeast corner, there is a chapel. The chancel measures by internally. It is accessed from the nave through a moulded arch with circular piers. There are Perpendicular-style triple sedilia (seats) in the south wall of the chancel, under semi-circular arches.

The five-bay south arcade is carried on octagonal piers. In the south chapel is a pedestal on two steps, and a piscina. There is another piscina in the south wall of the chancel. The chancel screen has five bays with an arched opening.

Internal fixtures include an octagonal font, balustraded pulpit, choir stall in the chancel and the reredos.

Chancel and organ Details of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.

In 2002, Principal Pipe Organs provided a small chamber organ which is located in the chancel.

The restoration includes a new chancel as the old one had been made into a ruin.

A new chancel was added in 1880 when the church was restored by George Gilbert Scott.

He had contributed towards its enlargement, and had carved the ornamental foliage on the chancel screen.

In the north wall of the chancel is a slit window dating from the 12th century.

Jones and Willis of Birmingham. Rust of London provided the green and blue chancel floor tiles.

An 1843 drawing by Frederick Russell shows five bays of fan vaulting over the chancel arch.

1814) and chancel (1858). The west window incorporates significant amounts of 14th-and 15th-century glass.

François Joseph Lagrange-Chancel (January 1, 1677 – December 26, 1758) was a French playwright and satirist.

The most recent refurbishment completed in 2005 was restoration of a central window in the chancel.

The chancel has two- light windows on its sides, and a large five-light east window.

A view of the interior, featuring the hammerbeam roof (HABS, 1970) A square chancel measuring about on all sides and with a height shorter than that of the main nave is adjoined to the rear of the nave and topped with the same roofing material. The apexes of both roofs feature matching stone crosses. The rear wall of the chancel features a triplet of pointed arch stained glass windows, and the exterior is flanked with two corner buttresses. A small addition to the eastern side of the chancel was originally used as a Sunday School room and is built in a similar fashion as the chancel itself.

12th-century red sandstone chancel arch in Irish Romanesque style Closeup of the chancel arch The 12th-century Hiberno- Romanesque Triumphal Arch is one of the outstanding features of St Mary's Cathedral, Tuam. It is the only remaining part of the original cathedral, erected at this site during the reign of Turlough O'Connor. The Nave of O’Connor's cathedral collapsed in 1184 due to a fire, with only the stone chancel arch escaping. In the 14th century a new cathedral was built by the De Burgo family, but to the east of the old building, with the chancel arch becoming the entrance to the new cathedral.

At the east end, beyond the present chancel wall by Butterfield, is the monastic chancel of about 1190, still almost complete, with a fine range of lancet windows on the north side, and on the south an arcade of arches (now infilled and with modern windows) which would have led to the 14th Century chapel in the chancel aisle. The monastic chancel is currently separated from the body of the church by the altar wall, though there is a modern connecting doorway. It is currently used as a parish room. Beneath the elevated wooden floor of the present building is the original stone floor of the medieval church.

The transepts, lower in height than the body of the church have large window openings, some of which have been fitted with stained glass panels. At the rear of the church, on the northern wall are three large tripartite window opening arrangements fitted with stained glass panels, featuring stories from the life of Christ. Dominating the interior is a large and fine organ, found, in Presbyterian manner, raised in the chancel of the church and almost filling the entire cavity. A round headed chancel archway separates the apsidal chancel from the body of the church and provides the springing point for a semi-domical ceiling in the chancel area.

The most obvious difference is between the system and rhythm of the windows and the buttress system. The chancel walls are designed as a skeletal system with the windows reaching almost from one pillar to the next one, providing a huge amount of light inside of the chancel, whereas the windows of the aisle are relatively smaller and do not fill the whole space between the pillars. The pillars of the main chancel also do not interact logically with the inner space of the aisle. This was caused by the changes in plans between the two phases of building the aisle and the chancel around 1379.

The chancel is generally the area used by the clergy and choir during worship, while the congregation is in the nave. Direct access may be provided by a priest's door, usually on the south side of the church.. This is one definition, sometimes called the "strict" one; in practice in churches where the eastern end contains other elements such as an ambulatory and side chapels, these are also often counted as part of the chancel, especially when discussing architecture.Fleming, "Chancel"; Pevsner, p. 349 In smaller churches, where the altar is backed by the outside east wall and there is no distinct choir, the chancel and sanctuary may be the same area.

The nave has a curved plaster ceiling with plaster rosettes. The round chancel arch is medieval. The chancel has an arch-braced wooden roof. The pews are dated 1697, the altar rails are from the late 18th century and the two sanctuary chairs are also early.

The chancel and the south transept were demolished, and the church transformed into a two bay wide nave with a narrower chancel. Several parts of the demolished building were at the same time re-used. The church was renovated in 1953 and again in 1973–74.

Ireby Old Church is constructed in blocks of sandstone and limestone, and it has a green slate roof. Only the former two- bay chancel remains. At its west end is an open bellcote. The door is at the west end in the blocked former chancel arch.

The chancel buttresses rise to octagonal finials with flat tops. Inside the church is a surviving brick chancel arch. Under the church is a crypt, which is not accessible to the general public. One of its windows has retained stained glass that depicts a liver bird.

There is a chancel, on the axis of the southern nave. The chancel is vaulted by a net vault. Both naves are separated by two octagonal pillars that carry the weight of the arch. The pillars are decorated by paintings, which resemble the construction block stones.

In each bay is a three-light decorated window with tracery. The clerestory has paired windows with ball flower decorations and gargoyles. There are traceried pinnacles at the east end of chancel. There is a seven-light east window in the chancel with lancet windows above it.

Built c. 1200, Toreby is one of the largest churches in the area. Built of brick with fieldstone foundations, it consists of a nave, two lateral aisles, a chancel, a sacristy and a tower. The nave and part of the chancel remain from the original Romanesque building.

The chancel has seven bays and is separated from the nave by an intricate chancel arch. The nave has low, narrow aisles on the south and north sides. The church is very tall, and the roof is vaulted; the shafts are of pale brick and stone.

The tower has corner buttresses, a curvilinear west window and smaller louvred windows on all faces at the bell- stage. A clock face is on the south side. The clerestory windows are pitched dormers. The tower, chancel and transept are crenellated and the chancel has crocketted finials.

The church is built in shale. The roofs are covered in slates, with stone ridge tiles. Its plan consists of a nave and a chancel, with a south porch and a vestry to the north of the chancel. At the east end is a stone cross finial.

On the north wall of the chancel are memorials dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. Also on the chancel walls and arch are painted boards containing the Ten Commandments and biblical texts. Elsewhere in the church are three medieval stone coffins and a carved coffin lid.

St Mary's in constructed in carstone, which is a type of stone found locally. It has a simple plan, consisting of a nave and a chancel. The nave has a slate roof, and the chancel is roofed with tiles. On the west gable is a bell-cot.

The east window in the chancel consists of a triple lancet window, there are three lancets on the south side of the chancel, and one on the north. The vestry has a three-light north window, and a single-light window and doorway to the east.

The chancel has a 17th-century collar truss roof. The north porch is late 18th-century, as probably is the transept roof. In the 19th century a Gothic Revival traceried wooden screen was inserted in the chancel arch. The church is a grade I listed building.

In the chancel floor is a brass to Anne Butts, who died in 1609, with a poem inscribed below her figure. There are also floor slabs from the 17th and 18th centuries to former rectors. The hatchments are in the chancel, the nave, and the north aisle.

In the chancel are a piscina and a sedilia, both dating from the 14th century, and the elaborate tomb of Margaret Boteler who died in 1410. In the chancel windows are fragments of medieval stained glass. The font is octagonal, and dates from the 15th century.

Inside the church is a four-bay arcade, beyond which is the tower arch. In a recess in the north wall of the chancel is a 19th-century chest tomb. The chancel roof is supported by corbels carved with angels. The octagonal font is in Decorated style.

Inside the church the five-bay arcades are carried on octagonal piers with capitals deeply carved with foliage. There are also arcades between the chancel and the chapels. The south aisle contains confessionals. There are marble altars in the chancel and the chapels, each with a reredos.

The church building dates to 1915, and was designed by T. P. Figgis. It has a nave and shallow rectangular chancel. The stained glass in the chancel was designed by Theodora Salusbury. The front courtyard was replaced by an extension by E. Brian Smith in 1966.

There is a two bay chancel. The chancel has high-set Discletian north and south windows. There is statue of John the Baptist in a round-headed niche and a parapet showing the IHS monogram. There are Tuscan polasters and a painted and guilded barrelled ceiling.

The church is constructed in stone with slate roofs. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave with a clerestory and north and south aisles, and a two-bay chancel. The aisles are almost as wide as the nave and continue beside the chancel, with the east end of the chancel protruding beyond them to form a short sanctuary. At the west end is a tower with a porch, and there is a chapel on the south side.

The nave looking towards the chancel, taken during a Heritage Open Day, September 2010. The blue paint over the chancel arch covers over a Victorian pattern, just visible through the cracks. St Andrew's is constructed in coursed limestone rubble with limestone dressings, and has terracotta tiled roofs. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave with clerestory, north and south aisles, a chancel with an organ chamber to the north, a south porch, and a west tower.

It is a brick fortress-like building, rectangular, with the chancel, entrance porch and its flanking buttresses semi-octagonal in shape. A single-storeyed vestry protrudes off the west side of the chancel. A single-storeyed vestry protrudes off the west side of the chancel. Its design by Robert Smith Dods (commonly known as Robin S. Dods) was inspired by St Ceciles Cathedral at Albi, France, which the parish building committee had chosen as the model for St Brigid's.

In place of the Saxon building, the Normans constructed a large cruciform church with a central tower and tall, sharp spire which forms a landmark for miles around despite the church standing in a dip. The four arms of the cross were formed by the nave, the chancel and a north and south transept. The chancel had an apse and a narrow chancel arch. In about 1220 (the Early English Gothic architectural period) many changes were made.

The chancel, of four bays, is late 13th- century; the pointed five-light east window and three-light side windows have intersecting tracery. The glass in the chancel is 14th-century. The chancel, showing the east and north windows The font is a cylindrical bowl on a shaft, both 12th-century. The bowl is decorated with low relief carvings: there is a Lamb of God on an altar, with panels around the bowl containing irregular patterns of triangles.

The nave is of uncertain date, but circa 1350 a north aisle was added and the chancel was rebuilt. The north aisle was rebuilt and widened around 1450, and Kemp's Chapel was added; the chancel arch was possibly removed at the same time. The west tower was added in 1862 by Rev John Foster, and the church was restored and the south porch added at around the same time. The chancel, by , has an east window of c.

View of the interior of the nave looking eastwards to the chancel, with 13th- century chancel arch visible. North entrance is at the left foreground. Detail from a stained glass window The church was extensively rebuilt in 1609 and restored in 1865, when a bellcote was added at the western end. It consists of a nave, chancel and large south chapel. The nave has six bays with lancet windows, probably dating to the 17th century, between.

Single-cell (nave and chancel in one room) or two-cell (nave and chancel separated by a chancel arch, with no aisles) layouts are common: Didling, East Marden, North Marden (with its rare apsidal end) and Terwick are examples. Demolition of ancient churches in favour of new buildings was uncommon in this part of Sussex, but this happened at Duncton (at the request of a local nobleman) and at Hunston, where the medieval building was ruinous.

The chancel St Andrew's Church is a Church of England parish church in the Essex village of Marks Tey. It was Grade I listed in 1965. Its nave was built around 1100, using coursed walls of mixed rubble, puddingstone and Roman bricks, possibly from an undiscovered villa in the area. Its chancel was rebuilt around 1330, with a sedilla, a piscina, a mid or late 14th century chancel arch and a blocked-up doorway to a former rood screen.

Over the chancel arch is a wide splayed lancet window or opening of early 13th century detail. The transept and chancel arches are very massive in appearance, with pointed heads and triple-splayed orders springing from slightly curved abaci, forming a continuous moulding round the piers. This responds in clumsy square bases the whole thickness of the wall, as if intended for a stop to some feature since removed. A chancel roof space is of unknown purpose.

The reason for building two chancels is not entirely clear. Many scholars suggest that there is some symbolic significance, such as empire and church, or body and spirit, but no irrefutable evidence for these theories exists. Others claim that the construction has a functional purpose for ceremonial processions. Whatever the original intent of the double chancel, the eastern chancel came to serve as the location for the mass and the western chancel was reserved for the bishop and pontiffs.

A chancel arch and wooden chancel screen followed in the 14th century. A porch was in place in the early 17th century, and may have replaced the aisle and chapel on that side. A fire destroyed the nave and roof in 1830, although the chancel and tower were undamaged. Architect John Garrett designed a new four-bay nave with north and south aisles in a lean-to style, rounded arches and lancet windows in groups of three.

The Gothic chancel and sacristy are from the second quarter of the 14th century and replaced an earlier chancel, constructed at the same time as the nave. They were built by a workshop operating on Gotland which has been assigned the notname . The portal of the former chancel was removed and reinstated in its present position as north entrance to the nave. The intention was probably to also rebuild the nave, but this was never done.

The present cathedral was designed by architects Parfitt and Prain, the cathedral is Norman-Gothic in style. The chancel was extended by eight feet in 2005 to allow for use of a chancel altar. All the furnishings in the chancel, with the exception of the organ console, can be removed, providing space for concerts, dance recitals, plays and other activities. In 2004 a sound and light booth, coat racks and library were installed in the narthex.

The church's origins are unknown, but the earliest known record of it is from 1161. Its oldest parts are the 12th century Norman tower, north wall of the nave and north doorway. The south aisle is of three bays and was originally a Norman addition made before the end of the 12th century. The original chancel may have been a Norman apse, but it was replaced with a larger, rectangular chancel with a new chancel arch.

Ceiling painting in the chancel Between the nave and the north aisle is a two-bay arcade in Early English style. In the east wall of the chancel is a re-set piscina, and the south wall contains a 14th-century tomb recess. The ceiling of the chancel was painted in 1672 by Thomas Francis. It depicts the Shield of the Trinity surrounded by cherubs and texts, and angels holding a bible open at Psalm 85.

Chancel arch from the nave The pointed chancel arch is 13th century. It is moulded of three chamfers leading to responds--half-piers against a wall supporting an arch--of three part round columns with continuous annulet between, and with polygonal capitals and base reflecting those of the arcade piers. At the spring of the arch are open cusped devices similar to those on the tower arch. The chancel roof is 19th century and of barrel vault construction.

Slender engaged columns extend upward from the piers to support a variation of hammer-beam timber roof trusses, strengthened with brackets of decorative joinery. The ceiling is diagonally boarded, tongue and groove, v-jointed timber. A pointed chancel arch, opens onto the chancel which has a faceted dome ceiling, which is painted with religious scenes. The chancel features a marble altar, accessed via two marble stairs, and a small stained glass rose window of the Holy Family.

Inside Holy Cross parish church The oldest part of the Church of England parish church of Holy Cross is the nave, which was built in the 12th century. The church has a 13th-century west tower, and 13th-century arches leading to the chancel and south transept. In the 14th century the chancel and transept were rebuilt and several new windows were inserted. The chancel was given a Decorated Gothic piscina and triple sedilia with ornate cusped arches.

The supporting timber braces of the nave roof can be seen from inside the church; the roof trusses in the chancel and transepts are covered by barrel-shaped boarded ceilings. The chancel floor is made from local limestone. The east window of the chancel dates from the 15th century, although the tracery is more recent. It has stained glass portraying Christ walking on the water giving a blessing and the word "It is I, be not afraid".

The arcade is in five bays running between the nave and chancel, and the north aisle. It is supported by octagonal piers, other than the second pier from the east, which is rectangular. The nave has a hammerbeam roof, and the chancel roof is scissor-braced. Between the chancel and the aisle is a sandstone memorial to the memory of a man who died in 1642 with the inscription "It is supposed that he lived above 100 yeares".

Inside, although there is no structural division between the nave and the chancel, there is a 19th-century wooden screen with wrought-iron gates between them, and a step up into the chancel. The sanctuary is marked with a further step, as is the base of the altar; both steps are decorated with encaustic tiles. The internal woodwork of the roof, which has seven bays (or sections), is exposed. Coffin lid on N wall of chancel.

The chancel was rebuilt at the same time. Around 1340 the north aisle was added, and towards the end of the 14th century the chancel was widened on the north and the tower was erected. The eastern half of the south wall of the chancel was rebuilt in the second half of the 15th century, and the clearstory was added to the nave. The south porch was added at the same time, but has subsequently been rebuilt.

The Fitzalan Chapel is the chancel of the church of St Nicholas in the western grounds of Arundel Castle. The church of St Nicholas is one of the very few church buildings that is divided into two worship areas, a Roman Catholic area (the chancel) and an Anglican area (the nave and transepts). The chancel, the Fitzalan Chapel, is used as the private mausoleum of the Dukes of Norfolk. It is a Grade I listed building.

There is no chancel arch, and the chancel is longer than the nave. The wall of the south aisle was rebuilt in about 1325–50, incorporating an ogee-arched tomb recess containing the effigy of a lady wearing a wimple. Two new windows were added to the church in the 14th century, and two more including the Perpendicular Gothic east window of the chancel in the 15th century. The church has a Perpendicular Gothic rood screen.

Altar lamp at St Pancras Church, Ipswich, representing a chained rather than a fixed style A chancel lamp hangs above the altar of St. Matthew's German Evangelical Lutheran Church In many Christian churches there is an altar lamp, also known as a chancel lamp, which is found in the chancel (sanctuary), either hanging or fixed. In Anglican, Old Catholic and Roman Catholic churches, the chancel lamp burns before a tabernacle or ambry to demonstrate the belief that Christ is present there through His Real Presence, as the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in these denominations. It is also found in the chancel of Lutheran and Methodist churches to indicate the presence of Christ in the sanctuary, as well as a belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The sanctuary lamp may also be seen in Eastern Orthodox Churches.

They are very unsightly and ought to be > removed. The pulpit and the desk are also of the 17th century, each of the > same height and each has a sounding board over head. The chancel has a plain > balustrade rail comparatively modern and both ugly, and wrongly placed. As a result, the paving in the chancel was renewed, the square chancel pews being converted into benches with some modern material, (this can clearly be seen in the front westward chancel bench, where the turnings and woodwork are of similar, but different design and texture) and wooden floors modified with some new woodwork into its current configuration and the benches were removed into the transepts.

A North aisle of three bays was added c. 1230, and about the same time a North chapel was added to the 12th-century chancel, which may then have been lengthened. About 1330–1340 the present Chancel was built beyond the former chancel, which was then thrown into the nave, a connecting bay being inserted between the nave arcade and the 13th century arch North of the original chancel; at the same time the 13th century chapel was abolished and the whole of the North Aisle re-built and widened.

Inside the church many of the windows are splayed. In the splay of a window on the south of the chancel is a 13th- century painting of a human figure. There are two monuments dating from the 18th century. On each side of the chancel arch is a round-headed squint.

The church dates from the 13th century. It comprises a chancel, nave and two aisles of the 13th century and a west tower which is 15th century. The altar rails are of the early 17th century. The chancel windows have some very unusual tracery which may date from the 17th century.

On the sides, there are figures of saints: Peter and Paul, carved in wood. In the aisles and chancel, note the carefully crafted stained glass windows. The glass in the chancel shows Christ surrounded by the Evangelists. Moving south along the nave, we see among others a figure of St. Adalbert.

At the west end of the south wall is an original round-headed Saxon window. The south doorway is 17th century, with a modern porch. The chancel is about long and wide on the interior. The chancel arch is of one order with the late Saxon feature of a soffit roll.

A larger arch was built at the entrance to the chancel and a carved oak screen provided. The chancel was re-floored with black and white marble and a new reredos of oak and alabaster inserted. A new choir vestry was provided. The contractor was Messrs Bowman and Sons of Stamford.

The chancel was re-fitted and furnished with a stone reredos, inlaid with encaustic slabs with scriptural scenes. The chancel floor was re-laid with Minton tiles. Jones and Willis of Birmingham supplied the lectern, lamp-standards and altar cloths. The alterations were overseen by the architect, Robinson of Derby.

The lower part of the tower and the nave date from the 12th century. During the following century an octagonal top was added to the tower and the chancel was built. In the 15th century the original windows in the nave were replaced. The chancel roof was replaced in 1633.

The small fifteenth-century church consists of a simple nave and chancel and preserves a number of original features.

Lateral and chancel walls are divided by stepped buttresses and pierced by large windows segmented in five split openings.

Above the chancel arch the Lamb of God is shown, surrounded by an aureole, with an angel either side.

The stained glass windows along the walls tell the story of Christ, with the chancel window depicting Christ enthroned.

Die St. Bartholomäus Kirche in Nieder-Saulheim The Auferstehungsfenster ("Resurrection Windows") in the chancel were created by Alois Plum.

The church interior is a single nave, with the chancel of stone, with ceiling cylindrical vat, also in stone.

There is stained glass in the chancel by Charles Eamer Kempe and in the north aisle by Alexander Gascoyne.

The chancel has two lancets in the south wall, and a triple stepped lancet window at the east end.

The original church was demolished in 1865 with only the font and chancel screen preserved in the new church.

There is an easter sepulchre in the chancel dating from the fourteenth century, and the pulpit dates from 1657.

Vivian, 1895, pp.262-3 His mural monument exists in Knowstone Church, on the south wall of the chancel.

In 1954 the church's inner doors and chancel were painted red, a symbol of the Holy Spirit.Stockton, p. 21.

The chapel is constructed in stone rubble with a stone slate roof. It is in two cells, one forming the nave and the other the chancel, each of which is of similar width; the chapel is otherwise featureless. A rendered concrete block wall dating from the 1980s stands about to the west of the chancel arch. In the north wall of the chancel are two doors, one added in the 20th century, and the other being an original priest's door with a semicircular head.

The chancel was one of the first parts of the building to be completed, being ready for service in early 1853, several months before the nave was completed later that year. Carpeting was added to the chancel in 1866 and electric lighting in the 1930s. A view of the nave and chancel at the rear of the building (HABS, 1970)The interior of the church follows its outer design. The narthex is floored with large stone slabs and is flanked with two lancet widows.

The interior of the church consists of a nave and side corridors surmounted by tribunes, a plan typical of Bahian churches of the 17th century. A sacristy is located on either side of the chancel and are connected by a small corridor behind the rear of the chancel. The high altars and side altars are in the Neoclassical style with talha dourado, or gilded wood carvings. The chancel, like other churches of Salvador and the Recôncavo region, has a barrel vault with four lunettes.

Most of the nave, its south doorway and the chancel arch are Saxon but the chancel was rebuilt in the early 13th century and a priest's doorway was added. In the 14th century the nave windows were altered, but one 12th-century window survives in good condition. In the 15th century two new windows were added to the chancel, flanking surviving a Norman door. A porch was built on the south side of the nave in the 16th century, incorporating the original entrance doorway into the nave.

In the west wall is another blocked doorway, over which is a two- light window dating from the 15th century. Much of the architecture is Norman in style. The Norman features include round-headed windows in the north wall of the chancel, with similar, but blocked, windows in the south and east walls; the south doorway; and, inside the church, the arcades and the chancel arch. The chancel arch is carved with demon-like figures on the north side, and human and animals on the south side.

The Norman features are the north doorway, a blocked south doorway, the chancel arch, a lancet window in the south wall of the chancel and the head of a similar lancet that has been reset in the north wall of the organ chamber. The north doorway has a single order and a tympanum including a carved figure. The tympanum of the south doorway is decorated with stone of two different colours in three horizontal bands. The chancel arch has zigzag carving and capitals decorated with scallops.

A new low oak screen divided the nave from the chancel. The chancel was improved with an east window of stained glass by Morris and Faulkner of London, representing the different Marys mentioned in the New Testament, the centre light representing Mary, the sister of Lazarus, at the house of Simon the leper. The flooring of the aisles was laid with squares of Portland stone, diagonally placed with black and red tiles. The chancel was laid with encaustic tiles of different colours, alternating with Portland stone.

The simple altar sits below the three-light east window of the chancel. St John the Baptist's Church is a typical example of the simple two-cell (nave and chancel) layout found at many pre-Norman Conquest churches in Sussex. The plan consists of a square-ended chancel, a much taller nave, a porch on the north side, a vestry on the south side and a west-end belfry of timber and shingles. The "tall, thin walls" of the nave give the church a "heartfelt piety".

The nave clerestory has three windows on each side, of two lights with cusped Y-tracery. The original nave gable can be traced below the 14th-century gable, which carries a cross, as does the chancel gable. The western portions of the chancel walls are of the 13th century, with an original lancet window on the north side, and on the south side a window of two trefoiled lights with an unencircled quatrefoil above. The rest of the chancel is of the 14th-century extension.

The nave, recessed chancel and the semicircular apse are built of naturally coloured granite blocks, white-plastered tuff and brick. Evidence of the Romanesque style can be seen in the apse's east window. Cross-arched and stepped friezes decorate the exterior of the apse while zigzag and lozenge designs top the nave and chancel walls. While the windows on the north side of the chancel exhibit only minor adaptations to the Gothic style, the five on either side of the nave are clearly pointed.

Instead, one will find a "communion table," usually on the same level as the congregation. There may be a rail between the communion table and the chancel behind it, which may contain a more decorative altar-type table, choir loft, or choir stalls, lectern and clergy area. The altar is called the communion table, and the altar area is called the chancel by Presbyterians. In a Presbyterian (Reformed Church) there may be an altar cross, either on the communion table or on a table in the chancel.

The Church of England parish church of SS Peter and Paul was originally a chapelry of Sutton Courtenay. The nave is 12th century Norman and the chancel was rebuilt early in the 13th century. Surviving early features include a Norman door on the south side of the nave and an Early English Gothic door to the chancel. The east and north walls of the chancel have original Early English lancet windows and the south wall has a Perpendicular Gothic window that was added in the 16th century.

The five-light window at the east end In 1866–9 the church was restored by George Edmund Street. The roofs of the north and south aisles were replaced, and the north wall was rebuilt, making the north aisle four feet wider. The ceiling of the nave was removed and the roof above was panelled. In the chancel, the east window was replaced by a five-light window in Early English style; a pointed chancel arch was built, and the chancel roof was raised.

The square chancel was retained but the old organ gallery was removed and the organ placed upon a platform at the rear of the chancel and raised about three feet above its floor. The rail was returned against this platform, giving a three- sided kneeling space. The original communion table was replaced by a slightly larger one; painted carved and covered with a marble slab. It was placed at the center and rear of the chancel, which was very shallow on account of the organ platform.

The aisles have shallow lean-to roofs; the chapels are gabled. Interior of nave looking towards the chancel. Internally, the aisles are divided from the nave with arcades of three pointed arches with octagonal columns and moulded capitals and bases; the arcade to the south is early 14th century and the one to the north late 14th century. The arcade on the south side continues between the chancel and the south chapel, with a single arch on the north side between the chancel and north chapel.

The hammer-dressed grey sandstone building, which measures only 74 by 21 feet, comprises a nave and a chancel with a carved butternut screen. The interior roof, pulpit, altar and open bench pews are also crafted of local butternut. The interior is richly decorated, with multicoloured Minton encaustic tiles on the nave and chancel floors and the reredos. The stained glass windows in the nave were obtained from the Beer studio in Exeter, while the triplet window in the chancel was made by William Warrington of London.

In the 1890s plans were implemented for the construction of a new chancel at the western end of the cathedral. This replaced the original small chancel and was constructed in the style familiar to Irish Catholics. At the same time a grand high altar was ordered for placement in the new structure.

Inside, the walls are lined by red brick with stone dressings to the arcade with moulded arches and circular columns. The chancel is ashlar-faced and features carving to the chancel arch corbels. The stained glass of the east windows is dated 1892. A wooden altar front has a painted lamb and angels.

The north wall of the chancel contains a blocked three-light window. The east window has three lights. The south wall of the chancel contains a three-light and a two-light window, and a priest's door. The parapet at the east end of the nave is pierced with quatrefoils and has crockets.

The church originated in the 12th century as a simple nave and chancel. The tower was added during the following century, and raised to its present height in the 16th century. The chancel was rebuilt in 1748. In 1882–83 the church was restored and extended by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin.

In the chancel is a moulded cornice, and its east bay is decorated with Ionic pilasters. Also in the chancel is panelling that was made for Cannons, the home of the Dukes of Chandos. Also from Cannons are the communion rails, the pulpit and the reading desk. The marble font dates from 1884.

Ayshford Chapel, interior view looking eastward toward the chancel Ayshford Chapel is constructed in local Westleigh chert rubble, with dressings in Beer stone. It has a slate roof. The plan consists of a rectangular building in one cell with no division between the nave and chancel. It is supported by corner buttresses.

In contrast to Roman oculi, this one is covered by a windowed cupola. Past the rotunda is the chancel, another barrel vault under which the bema is located. On its raised dais all ceremonies were conducted. At the back of the chancel is an apse at the uppermost part of the cross.

The blame for the garrison's poor performance was laid on Chancel and he was condemned "with doubtful justice".Phipps (2010), p. 258 Chancel died by the guillotine on 6 March 1794. Condé was held by the Coalition until 29 August 1794 when Franz von Reyniac surrendered the fortress to Barthélemy Louis Joseph Schérer.

High altar, church interior The church has large internal buttresses that are pierced by passage aisles and which support high-level arches. The barrel roof is richly painted above chancel. An elaborately carved rood screen separates the nave from the chancel and the sanctuary is raised. The reredos is decorated with painted figures.

Throughout the ages, a nave, chancel and aisles were added to the east of the round church at Northampton, and in the nineteenth century, the prolific architect Sir George Gilbert Scott was involved in extensive restoration to bring the church into its present state. The chancel screen is by John Oldrid Scott, 1880.

The nave roof dates from the 15th century, and the chancel roof from about 1600. The latter is lower, almost flat, and more ornate than that of the nave. It contains large bosses carved with foliage and grotesques. On the tympanum between the chancel and nave roof are painted coats of arms.

The east window has three lights with Perpendicular tracery. There are two-light windows elsewhere in the chancel and chapel, and three-light windows in the vestry. Inside the church is a west gallery carried on two octagonal iron columns. The nave has a flat ceiling and the chancel a waggon roof.

The aisle and roofs were restored with the four roofs costing £689. A new three-light window was placed at the west end of the south aisle. The chancel screen was repaired and re-erected in its original position, enclosing the western bay of the chancel. New seating of pitch pine was provided.

The tower is built in brick and stone. It has round-headed bell-openings and urn-like finials. The chancel has a five-light east window dating from the 14th century, and a two-light window on the south wall of the chancel. The north aisle, dating from 1832, has Perpendicular style windows.

St Bartholomew's is constructed in limestone. The roof of the nave is in slate, and the roofs of the chancel and tower are tiled. Its plan consists of a three-bay nave, a two-bay chancel and a west tower. The tower is built partly within the west end of the nave.

On the gable at the east end of the nave are the remains of a bellcote. The east window of the chancel has three lights with Early English tracery, above which is a niche. The north and south walls of the chancel contain lancet windows. The interior of the church is limewashed.

Monumental brass in Ulcombe Church, to Ralph I St Leger (d.1470) and his wife "Anne" The south wall of the south chapel contains a 13th-century piscina. The east end of the chancel contains two aumbries. The western bays of the north and south arcades in the chancel contain carved screens.

Its three bells date from the early 15th century (by Richard Hille), the 1470s (Henry Jurdan) and 1713 (Samuel Knight). Hille owned a foundry in London; his bells are found at several other churches throughout Sussex. The chancel is lower and shorter than the nave. The chancel, renewed in the 19th century, measures .

Next the Perpendicular Gothic clerestory was added. The architect Thomas Rickman repaired St Michael's and restored its chancel in 1826–1827. The chancel has a monument to Mary Anne Boulton, which includes a reclining female figure sculpted in white marble by Francis Chantrey in 1834. The church is a Grade I listed building.

The once small windows in the chancel have now been replaced by large modern windows. The impressive cornices were probably used to support a stone roof for the chancel. The original height of the upright nave appears to have been some 4.60 meters but it has now been heightened to 5.80 meters.

The tower is constructed in ashlar sandstone and the rest of the church in rubble sandstone. The roofs of the chancel and chapel are in stone slate. Its plan consists of a west tower, a partly ruined five- bay nave, and a chancel with a north chapel. The truncated tower has two stages.

A vestry was built on the north side of the chancel. It has the same length as the chancel, but is a little narrower. Originally there were two windows in the vestry, one to the north and one to the east. Later the east window was made larger and a door was installed.

The church has a limestone tower, a gritstone chancel and a stone slate roof. The church is of a perpendicular style with a west tower, a south porch and a chancel embraced by north and south chapels. The tower is of two stages with angled buttresses with offsets and an octagonal clock face.

The aisle and roofs were restored, with the four new roofs costing £689. A new window was added at the west end of the south aisle. The chancel screen was repaired and re-erected in its original position, enclosing the western bay of the chancel. New seating of pitch pine was provided.

The nave has a double hammerbeam roof in six bays. It contains carved human figures with their heads defaced. The chancel has an arch-braced collar-beam roof, which is decorated with carved angels. On the walls of the chancel are alcoves containing statues of Saint Peter, Saint Paul and the Four Evangelists.

All Saints is constructed in rock-faced stone, and it has slated steeply-pitched roofs. The architectural style is Early English. Its plan consists of a nave and a chancel in one range, a south aisle with a porch, a north transept and sacristy. The chancel ends in a three-sided apse.

This feature is unique in England. On the east and north walls of the chancel are large moulded corbels. Also in the chancel are an aumbry with a semicircular head, a simple sedilia, and a 13th-century trefoil-headed piscina. The font consists of an octagonal bowl carried on an octagonal stem.

The transept arch is Norman. Between the nave and chancel is a 16th-century wooden screen. In the east wall of the transept is a piscina and a squint, and in the south wall are the remains of a rood staircase. There is another piscina in the south wall of the chancel.

There are now seven arches on each side.VHCB p. RCHM p.269 The chancel was rebuilt about 1290 and the two-light window in the north wall is of that date (much restored) with a modern quatrefoil above. The two windows in the south wall of the chancel are probably of about 1340.

The present chancel roof dates from the 17th century. The north aisle was built in 1839 but its east window dates from about 1275. In 1888 All Saints' was largely rebuilt under the direction of John Oldrid Scott. Scott extended the chancel eastwards by about and added a new Gothic Revival east window.

Inside the church are four-bay arcades. To the sides of the chancel arch are rood stairs, and above the arch is a two- light window. There is a piscina in the chancel and another in the south aisle. There is a double aumbry in both the north and the south walls.

Most of the church was rebuilt in the 14th century, replacing an earlier Norman church. The south porch was added in the 15th century, and restored in 1975. By the 1960s the church had fallen into disrepair, and it was divided at the chancel arch, the chancel continuing in use for worship.

Alterations were carried out in the 1890s. St Paul's Church was built in 1848. The chancel was replaced in 1882–1884, the new chancel being the work of J. D. Sedding. The tower is "broad and strong" (Pevsner) and the exterior of the aisles are ornamented in Sedding's version of the Perpendicular style.

On the north side of the chancel, there is a modern sacristy. The chancel, which also has lateral aisles, terminates with a polygonal eastern end which was completed in the early 16th century before the Reformation. Comprehensive restoration of the building was completed under the leadership of the architect H.B. Storck in 1909.

Inside the church is a four-bay arcade carried on round columns. The chancel arch is carried on corbelled responds (half-columns). Between the chancel and the organ loft is a pair of arches with a tympanum containing a quatrefoil. The stained glass in the windows was made by Clayton and Bell.

Gökhem Church is one of Sweden's oldest churches. Tree-ring dating of the church's beams indicates it was built around 1077. Built of sandstone and limestone, it originally consisted of a rounded apse, a chancel and a wider nave. A chapel and a sacristy were later added to the north of the chancel.

The interior consists of chancel, nave, transepts and south porch, and is formed of rough materials, now largely plastered and whitewashed. The large chancel was restored around 1475, primarily it would appear by extending it and adding new red sandstone Perpendicular segmental-pointed side windows, one three-light and one single- light to the south and one three-light to the north – all now with nineteenth century tracery and stained glass. The window is Gothic equilateral. South transept, east side, showing join to crossing and chancel An inscription in the left side window jamb of the east window in the south wall of the chancel may be a contemporary memorial to William Stratford;The jam-stones, four- centred heads and cills are believed to be original, with the mullions and heads of the lights being renewed in 1882–84; W. Gwyn Thomas, "The Chancel of Llanbadarn Fawr Church" (1978) 127 Archaeologia Cambrensis 127–129, at 129.

The original ceiling can still be reached from the ringing chamber in the central tower, and includes an arch- braced collar-beam truss, with traces of five cross-ribs equally spaced on the soffit of the four-centred moulded arch. The truss had slots for the panels of a boarded ceiling (a wagon roof). The entrance to the chancel from the crossing has a red marble step, with mosaic, and Minton encaustic tile panels of a three-branch lamp, then another marble step and black marble main chancel flooring in small paving slabs. In the sanctuary there are a further three marble steps, with paving of pink marble with black in square or zigzag patterns. Chancel, looking towards the altar and the great east window, St Padarn's Church, Llanbadarn Fawr Priests’ vestry, angle of wall adjoining to chancel There are three small square-panelled doors to the north wall of the chancel.

His death took place on 24 December 1669, and he was buried in the chancel of St Michael's Church, Oxford.

The arrangement of the cantoris and decani sections is called the "split chancel" model, which favors antiphonal and responsorial performance.

The church has two wooden sculptures: a crucifix hanging above the chancel arch and a Madonna both in Gothic style.

The tower is in Perpendicular style. The nave windows are wide and slightly pointed; those in the chancel are lancets.

The building was restored in 1866, and the chancel rebuilt in 1868. The tower was added in the 19th century.

Although the church is now vested in the Churches Conservation Trust, its chancel is still used as a parish church.

Other fittings have been removed. In the west end of the chancel are steps leading down to the Fitzwilliam vault.

The chancel, with two bays, has three-light 14th- century flowing tracery windows and a five-light reticulated east window.

In the chancel is a tomb, probably from the 14th century, the top of which is carved with a sword.

It also dates from the 15th century, though was substantially altered—including the virtual rebuilding of the chancel—in 1854.

"" The church has four 15th century misericords, two either side of the chancel, each of which shows a plain shield.

The lack of an arch or other division between the nave and chancel created, in effect, one large interior space.

The windows in the chancel are lancets from the early 13th century, and a 15th-century squint is also present.

The east and west windows, and those on either side of the chancel, were gifted and painted by Mrs. Rawlinson.

The church is constructed of ashlaring walls with a square west tower, rectangular nave and lower rectangular chancel and apse.

The present day church consists of a medieval chancel with north vestry (now housing an organ) and south wall chancel door, clerestoried nave, north and south aisles, south porch, west tower and spire, and west-end vestries and galilee added in the 20th century. It is set within a conventional churchyard that is walled and gated on Church Lane (north side). A chapel is said to have existed on the banks of the River Trent at Attenborough n 964 AD and was overbuilt with the stone chancel of the present day church. The chancel was thought to exist as early as 1042 and is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 where it is referred to as being shared by Chilwell and Toton.

The present building is medieval with a 12th-century doorway reset in the vestry, early 13th century font, parish chest, chancel piscina, chancel, nave and south aisle and early 14th century north aisle. The west tower is later 14th century, whilst the chancel arch and nave roof were both rebuilt in the late 15th or early 16th century. The south aisle was knocked down around 1600 and extensive repairs occurred early in the 18th century. It had fallen into disrepair by 1874 but restored and expanded to meet a growing local population in 1885 and 1886, rebuilding the south aisle, adding new chancel windows and an organ chamber, converting the base of the west tower into a vestry and removing a west gallery.

It was later linked to the cathedral through the construction of a nuns' chancel. This chancel is now the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. Archaeology relating to the convent and original "scholastic buildings", i.e. St Mary's College and the Convent lie within the curtilage of the State heritage listing of the Cathedral under the carpark tarmac.

Inside the church the arcades are carried on octagonal piers and have pointed arches. The chancel arch is moulded, and there is a tall west arch leading into the tower. Both the nave and chancel have open timber roofs. The stained glass in the east window is by Kempe and dates from before 1899.

Inside the church are five-bay arcades between the nave and the aisles. The chancel contains a piscina. The dado of the chancel screen, which dates from a period between about 1500 and 1525, is in two bays on each side. Each side is divided into two panels, all of which contain paintings of saints.

St Mary's is constructed in stone. The nave and aisles have flat lead roofs while the chancel roof is tiled. Its plan consists of a two-bay nave with north and south aisles and a clerestory, a chancel, a south porch, and a west tower. The tower is without buttresses, and has traceried bell openings.

It has a low pitch, and contains moulded and carved beams, moulded rafters, bosses, and quatrefoil panels. The bosses are carved with the heraldry of the Stanley family. The west arch of the chapel has a pierced timber tympanum. Between the north chancel chapel and the chancel is an arcade carried on octagonal piers.

Both naves have a stellar vault from the late Gothic period. The chancel has a late Romaesque cruciform vault. The vaults display frescos painted in 1949 by Stanisław Teisseyre. The chancel has a late Gothic triptych made in a local workshop around 1520, and significantly restored after sustaining damage in the Second World War.

Inside the church, the pointed chancel arch has two orders and is decorated with red diamond-shaped tiles. Its responds have marble shafts and ornate capitals. In the north wall of the chancel are three sharply pointed openings, the one to the east leading to the vestry. In the south wall is a plain sedilia.

Under the windows of the north porch, a doorway leads down to a crypt. In the apse of the chancel are five lancet windows. On the apex of the chancel gable is an elaborate wrought iron cross in a circle. Along the sides of the porch in the base of the tower are stone benches.

The chancel arch dates from the 14th century, as does the two-bay south arcade between the chancel and the vestry. The north arcade between the nave and aisle has three bays and pointed arches. The octagonal font dates from the late 13th century. It stands on five columns and shows traces of red paint.

A continuous roofline runs the full length of the building. The nave is lit by lancet windows in the clerestory; there are no aisle windows. There is a narrow ambulatory around the chancel. The arcades are supported by short cylindrical columns, with square capitals, plain in the nave and carved with foliage in the chancel.

The church is constructed in ironstone with Welsh slate roofs. Its plan consists of a two-bay nave, a two-bay chancel, an aisle running to the north of the nave and the chancel, a south porch and a west tower. The architectural style is Perpendicular. The east end of the aisle forms a chapel.

There are oak screens between the nave and the chancel, and between the aisle and the chapel. The former screen dates from the 15th century, while the latter screen is Jacobean in style. In the south wall of the chancel is a piscina. The font dates from the 15th century and has an octagonal bowl.

The church was built in the 14th century. By 1828 it was deemed too small so the nave was rebuilt to designs by the architect James Trubshaw. In 1877 the present chancel was built. The chancel was designed by the architect Frederick Josias Robinson of Derby and the contract was Mr. Fryer, also of Derby.

A thirteenth century three-light window in the north side of the chancel is filled with simulated organ pipes. The main window in the south of the chancel has a representation of Christ’s call of St Peter. It was inserted in 1981. Most of the other glass in the church dates from 1882-1896.

The oldest walls of the church are situated in the southern part of the main nave and in the chancel. The side nave was added during the reconstruction works in the 15th century. In the same time, there was an extension of the current chancel. The next building stage took place during the 16th century.

The former red-brick building had consisted of a Romanesque chancel and nave and a Gothic porch. Today's church consists of a chancel, a nave and a tower whose ground floor serves as a porch. Renovation work was undertaken in 1978. On that occasion, the windows were replaced with stained-glass designs by Mogens Jærgensen.

Inside the church the six-bay arcades are carried on alternate round and octagonal piers. The columns for these are monoliths. The roofs are scissor-braced, that of the chancel being carried on corbels carved with angels. The chancel screen dates from 1912, and is carved with tracery and motifs including cherubs and vines.

Lack of finances, however, precluded construction of anything more. There was no money for the crossing or the chancel as originally intended. In the end it was resolved that a temporary chancel should be constructed using material saved from the old St Paul's. The new cathedral was consecrated by Nevill on 12 February 1919.

The church dates from the 13th century and by the eighteenth century had become a ruin. The nave and chancel were restored in 1845, and a new chancel arch and organ chamber were built in 1898 by W.S. Hicks. The north aisle was rebuilt in 1912. The church is noted for its dramatic headland site.

The earliest parts of the church are the norman tower dating from ca. 1200. The tower door is 12th century and the north door and Purbeck marble font date from the 13th century. The chancel is early 14th century and the nave mid 14th century. The chancel exterior wall is covered in cement render.

In the 19th century most of the old stained glass was removed, although fragments remain in the chancel windows. The stained glass in the east window is by William Wailes. In the chancel are four tombs of members of the Fitton (Fytton) family. The oldest is an altar tomb to Francis Fytton dated 1608.

It is flanked by narrow aisles and porches (now used for other purposes). The nave is flanked by the Lady Chapel in the north aisle and All Souls Chapel in the south aisle. The apsidal chancel is enclosed by a narrow ambulatory. To the north the Lady Chapel has its own arcaded chancel with ambulatory.

In the chancel is a large 14th-century seven-light east window with complex tracery. On the south side of the chancel is a low door flanked by two tall 14th-century three-light windows. There are two similar windows on the north side. The vestry is constructed in English bond brickwork on a plinth.

The chancel is also perpendicular, with a vestry to the north in the angle between nave and chancel. On the south elevation there is a doorway with a porch. The simple font is late medieval. The pulpit was carved by local villagers and has an 18th-century memorial plaque on the wall beside it.

To the east of this, in the north wall of the chancel, is a window with an arched head. There are no windows in the north chapel, but there are two large crosses on pedestals. The east window in the chancel has a three-light window with a stone surround, dating from the 19th century.

The limestone building has a stone slate roof. It consists of the nave, with a wagon roof and supported by diagonal buttresses, south porch, north asile and chancel There is a three- stage west tower. The oldest of the bells in the tower is from1638. There is a sanctus bellcote above the chancel arch.

St Andrew's in constructed of stone; its roofs are stone slate and copper. The plan consists of a nave with a square tower to the west and a chancel to the east. North of the chancel is a vestry. The tower is crenellated with four-stage buttresses at its corners and has a moulded plinth.

The church's open timber roof is stained and varnished, with the chancel roof being groined. The arches of the nave roof are supported on carved corbels. The chancel's stone corbels were carved by Mr. Boulton of Cheltenham. The floor of the chancel is laid with Minton's encaustic tiles and the aisles laid with Keinton stone.

The other windows of the chancel are later Perpendicular Gothic additions. The nave and south transept are Perpendicular features from the 14th century, although the transept arch and window are Decorated. The Gothic Revival architects G.F. Bodley and Thomas Garner restored the chancel in 1881. The Perpendicular Gothic windows in the nave are likewise Victorian.

On the nave walls are the remnants of wall paintings. One of these is of Saint James the Great holding a staff, and another fragment depicts Saint Christopher carrying the Christ child. Above the chancel arch are depictions of two angels, and around the upper part of the chancel wall runs a painted frieze.

The church is constructed in flint and brick with limestone dressings. The roofs of the nave and chancel are slated, and the porch roof is tiled. Its plan is simple, consisting of a nave with a south porch, a chancel, and a west tower. The tower is round and dates from the 12th century.

Also in the nave are Royal arms of 1781. In the chancel is an 18th-century three-sided communion rail. On the walls of the chancel are boards painted with the Lord's Prayer, the Creed, and the Ten Commandments. The east window contains stained glass dating from about 1520; this was restored in 1911.

The Lutheran reformer Johannes Brenz, the main Protestant Reformer of Württemberg, was buried under the chancel after his death in 1570. From 1574, small statues of all the Counts of Württemberg (i.e. since Ulrich I) were added at the North wall of the chancel. In 1608, a new grave crypt or burial vault was added.

The outer shell of the church is built in stone while the interior is in cast iron. Its plan consists of a west tower, a seven-bay nave with aisles, and a short chancel. Porches flank the tower and chancel. The tower has diagonal buttresses, an arched west door with a three-light window above.

Inside the church the arcade between the nave and the aisle has three bays and pointed arches. The chancel arch is also pointed and is chamfered. The nave and chancel have barrel roofs. The font is in sandstone, it is octagonal in the style of the 16th-century, and on its sides are shields.

In 1850 a porch designed by Edmund Blackett was added to the northern side and not long after, in 1857, a chancel was added. Once the chancel had been added the internal pew layout was altered to face the chancel. William Woolls, a prominent late nineteenth century writer on the botany and flora of Australia was incumbent at St Peter's from 1873 and from 1877 to 1883, the Rural Dean of Richmond. In the churchyard a small obelisk was built of bricks from the old school church building.

The chancel's east window is also 15th-century, with three lights headed by trefoils (a three-leaf pattern) and decorated with tracery. It has 19th-century glass depicting the Ascension. The south side of the chancel and the north transept have 19th-century windows; the south chancel window has three lights with tracery headed by cinquefoils (a five-leaf pattern), with geometric patterns of glass. The east and south chancel stained glass is in memory of the wife, son, and daughter of Hugh Wynne Jones, who died in the mid-19th century.

On the south side of the chancel is the organ chamber, and on the north side is the vestry which has access through the north wall and into the chancel. The chancel arch was built "as lofty as possible", being the "chief internal feature of the structure". All the woodwork is made of pitch pine, and was originally treated or varnished to appear as close as possible to its natural colour, although the roof timbers looked warmer than the pews when new. The nave is by , and the north and south aisles are by .

Decorated Gothic piscina and sedilia in the chancel of St Margaret's parish church Early in the 14th century the building was enlarged in the Decorated Gothic style with a south aisle that absorbed the south chapel, and the chancel was enlarged and received new windows including the present east window. In the chancel is a memorial effigy of a lady that also dates from the 14th century. In the 15th century a new Perpendicular Gothic west tower was built. In 1553 the tower was recorded as having four bells and a Sanctus bell.

Other features of the 14th century include the 'horse shoe' arch separating nave from chancel and also the majestic tower, the old Norman west door being re-set at its base. In the 16th century the church was added to with the insertion of clerestory windows which run the length of both nave and chancel. The beautiful carved timber roofs of the nave and south aisle were also constructed during this period. In 1877 the chancel was restored, the Early English east window was changed and filled with new stained glass by Holiday.

Pevsner states "Nave and chancel externally all Ponting's". Other work in the 19th century included the replacement of the south porch, re-roofing of the chancel, and rebuilding of the top section of the tower. Today the tower is in limestone ashlar, with a stair-tower to the southeast; the nave is sarsen and greensand rubble with limestone quoins and dressings, on sarsen foundations; and the chancel is flint with limestone banding. The plain octagonal font is from the 13th or 14th century, and the pulpit, also octagonal, is from the 17th.

A "typical Norman arcade" was inserted in its place. Next, in about 1200, the west end of the chancel was altered and the chancel arch leading to the nave was removed without replacement. More significant and "far more interesting" work was then undertaken on the chancel in the third quarter of the 13th century: it was extended to the east, making it longer than the nave—a very rare pattern, whose only equivalent in a Sussex parish church is St Laurence's Church at Guestling according to one authority.

The original church of All Saints was a rectangular building aligned on an east-west axis, measuring by . It consisted of a western nave and an eastern chancel, with a sanctuary added to the eastern end of the chancel in the first phase of building. The chancel was about long, and the nave was small, taking up only about of the building's overall length. They were connected by a recessed passageway about long but only about across at its narrowest, the foundations for which suggest a heavy structure, perhaps including a vaulted ceiling.

The church of St. Mary consists of a chancel, south chapel, nave, north aisle, south aisle, west tower and south porch. The walls are of ashlar and rubble with stone dressings, and the roofs are covered with stone slates and lead. The church is not mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086, but in the 12th century there was a chancel and an aisleless nave to which a west tower was added in the later years of that century. In the middle of the next century the chancel was rebuilt and a south chapel added.

A very tall and elaborately panelled timber reredos is set against the painted battened fibro rear wall of the chancel. The first organ was originally set against this, but has been replaced by a timber altar table (). Other chancel furniture includes a communion table and chairs A very fine and recently restored organ of considerable historic interest (refer to history) is built into a transept extension (1935) on the eastern side of the chancel. Two vestries connect the church to two halls at the rear, one larger Sunday school hall and a second kindergarten hall.

Angels adorn its tiebeams and hammerbeams, and figures of the apostles with others carved in the wall posts. The chancel screen dates from the 15th century and has the remains of old painting and gilding and in the north aisle windows in glass as old as the screen are of more angels. The chancel is 13th century and the east window is a fine trinity of lancets reaching up to the roof. The rood-stairs are in a turret by the chancel arch, and there is a simple 15th- century font.

The chancel arch was restored in the mid-19th century, but the 15th-century chancel screen was retained during the renovations of 1853. Also in the chancel are six misericords, two with carved heads. There are several memorials in the church. The Henty family is commemorated by a tablet and a 19th-century window near the altar; there is also a window for Robert Southey, the poet, who was the father-in-law of the vicar (Reverend J. Warter) who had restored the church in the mid-19th century.

In the 14th century the chancel was rebuilt and the south porch was added. In the 15th century a chapel was added south of the chancel and east of the south aisle, and a four-centred arch was inserted in the south wall of the chancel to link it with the chapel. The north aisle was demolished, its arcade filled in and two-light Perpendicular Gothic windows inserted in each of the filled-in arches. The Perpendicular Gothic west tower was added towards the end of the 15th century.

The high quality arcade arches of the nave with aisles either side and clerestory above date from the 1440s as the result of funding by William Hanningfield. The Chancel An early illustration of the church exists by the artist Isaac Johnson who travelled Suffolk between 1810–18. His illustration (now in the Ipswich Record Office) shows a low chancel with a round-headed Norman doorway on the south side – part of the Domesday church. The chancel was demolished and rebuilt in the mid 19th century, following a gift by the rector, Evan Baillie.

St Peter's Church The Church of England parish church of St Peter is faced with limestone ashlar except for the oldest part, the chancel of malmstone and flint, which is probably from the 11th century. The nave and west tower are from the 14th century; in the 15th the south porch was added and the tower was raised, and gained an octagonal stair-tower. Restoration in 1868 by W.H. Woodman of Reading included re-roofing of the chancel, rebuilding of the chancel arch and addition of a north vestry. The octagonal font is 13th century.

The early Norman church dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin is just over nine hundred years old, and remains little altered in size and structure, although the windows are not original, some being medieval and some Victorian. The three foot (90 cm) thick walls are of stone and downland flint. In Norman style the church has a tall narrow nave and a rounded apse chancel for the altar. The original round Norman chancel arch, between nave and chancel, was replaced after about 100 years by a wider pointed arch.

The church of the 12th century was cruciform in structure, consisting of a chancel, a nave (built in two periods) and two transepts—the latter forming the two arms. At a later date, perhaps a century later, the chancel aisle was built, and after that the nave aisle. The tower is of later date than the chancel. Once a rood screen adorned the church; the corbels on which it rested are still in place and a closed-up doorway, through which the rood was approached, is still in existence.

Vol 13. The lack of ritual and religious processions rendered unnecessary a large chancel; hence in Lawson's version of the Gothic, the chancel and transepts (the areas which traditionally in Roman and Anglo- Catholic churches contained the Lady Chapel and other minor chapels) are merely hinted at in the design. Thus at First Church the tower is above the entrance to the building rather than in its traditional place in the centre of the church at the axis of nave, chancel and transepts. In all, Lawson designed over forty churches in the Gothic style.

The single- storey structures are of flint and brick. One was also used as a tool shed after being extended from its original square plan. Later in the 19th century, local architect J. H. Ball made some structural changes to the church, although the extent of the restoration was not significant. He replaced some of the 13th-century lancet windows, added an organ chamber on the north side of the chancel (moving a lancet window from the chancel and resetting it there), added the small spire, altered the east window and re-roofed the chancel.

St Nicholas Church is built in Storeton sandstone and is roofed with Yorkshire stone flags. The church is orientated in the opposite direction from the usual liturgical orientation, with its chancel at the west end. It is built on sand and therefore stands on a raft of steel and concrete. The church has a cruciform plan, with a central tower above the crossing, a nave and a chancel, both with clerestories, north and south aisles, north and south transepts, north and south porches, a chancel, a south Lady Chapel, and a north vestry.

This is an arch which separates the chancel from the nave and transept of a church. If the chancel, strictly defined as choir and sanctuary, does not fill the full width of a medieval church, there will usually be some form of low wall or screen at its sides, demarcating it from the ambulatory or parallel side chapels. As well as the altar, the sanctuary may house a credence table and seats for officiating and assisting ministers. In some churches, the congregation may gather on three sides or in a semicircle around the chancel.

Christ is flanked by the symbols of the Four Evangelists. Depictions of Cain and Abel were sometimes painted on the arch of the apse, and sometimes on the chancel arch (facing the nave), or on the underside of the chancel arch. The chancel arch could also contain images of saints or donor portraits, and sometimes a depiction of the Passion was painted above the arch. The south wall of the nave was sometimes decorated with scenes from the Old Testament, while the north wall was decorated with scenes from the New Testament.

The 14th century, red-tiled church is a substantial structure in the later English style, consisting of a nave, south aisle, and chancel, with a 16th-century embattled tower at the west end. The nave is long and broad including the aisle. The chancel long and wide and the arch dates further back to the twelfth century, evidently from the earlier building which was situated on the site. The eastern window of the south aisle is elegantly design, and that of the chancel is ornamented with stained glass, representing the arms of the Traherne family.

The Church of England parish church of Saints Peter and Paul is a late Norman church built in about AD 1190. In about 1250 the bell tower and octagonal spire were built, the north and south transepts were added, the chancel remodelled and an arch was inserted in the north wall of the chancel, linking it to a new north chapel. The south wall of the chancel has also a window added early in the 14th century. A Perpendicular Gothic arch linking the north transept and chapel was inserted.

The east window The church is aligned from east to west with its chancel and altar at the east end. It consists of a 12th-century chancel and plain, semicircular chancel arch; a nave of the same age, with two rectangular windows on each side; and a short tower from the 13th century, with two angled buttresses at the southwestern and northwestern corners. The former has a 13th-century gravestone incorporated into the stonework, but the buttresses are no earlier than 14th-century. On the north side is an entrance porch and a vestry.

A church has occupied the site in West Thurrock since pre-conquest days. In the early twelfth century the church existed with a circular tower serving as the nave. In the early thirteenth century the building was widened with north and south aisles built on either side of the rectangular chancel and by the late thirteenth century the building had been extended with a new chancel; the existing chancel became the nave, and north and south chapels were added. The chancel's eastern wall was later demolished and moved to its present position.

Its octagonal bowl is carved with the symbols of the Four Evangelists, alternating with angels holding the Instruments of the Passion. Beneath the bowl are more angels, and the stem is surrounded by carved lions. All the furniture in the chancel is Victorian, and in the chancel is a dropped sill below the south window which acts as a sedilia. Although much of the stained glass has been destroyed, some dating from the late 13th or early 14th century in the chancel, and from the 15th century in the north nave windows, is still present.

The three-bay chancel is narrower than the nave; both are surmounted by a plain parapet. There are no windows on the north side of the chancel, but a door is present which formerly led to the part of the churchyard reserved for burial of the lord of the manor and his family. On the south side were three round-headed windows, two of which are original and the other restored after the bomb damage. On each side of the nave are three round-headed windows, similar to those in the chancel.

The carved panels in the chancel and the screening of the vestry may have been part of the larger structure as well as part of the panelling that once covered the lower part of the sides of the chancel. The heads of kings and queens on one of these panels are not just ornaments but declarations of loyalty. A further relic of the troubles of the Civil Wars hangs on the south wall of the chancel (not its original position). It is a painted memorial to William Thornton (d.

He died by 16 October 1662, when his will was proved, and was buried in the chancel of St Mary's Church.

In 1887–89 the chancel was added by William Waddington and Sons, and in about 1932 the south vestry was built.

He died at Reading on 28 Jan 1678, and was buried in the chancel of St Giles's Church on 31 January.

The chancel, nave and chapels are built of roughly-hued fieldstone with some brick while the tower is in red brick.

Lloyd died at Newington Butts on 27 November 1680, and was buried in the chancel of his church without any memorial.

Dr. Kaye, Bishop of Lincoln.The chancel was added in 1900 by William Arthur Heazell. The north chapel was added in 1946.

It features a chancel, nave, and two aisles. The tower, which dates to the 11th or 12th centuries, measures in height.

The Gothic style church is built of ashlar stone with slate roofs. There is a west tower, nave, chancel and sanctuary.

Chichester died on 24 September 1669 aged about 71 and was buried in the chancel of St Peter's Church, Bishop's Tawton.

There is also an unusually large hagioscope or squint giving a view from the north aisle to the chancel and altar.

The nave and chancel looking east The Abbey is a Grade I listed building. It has several distinct architectural styles throughout.

Jacques Ferrand commanded the fourth mass, which was in the Maubeuge entrenched camp. Second-in-command was Jean Nestor de Chancel.

The nave and chancel are under a single roof span. The church's gable has two buttresses flanked by the bell openings.

The nave has six bays and internally there are stone piers. The chancel has a large east window with mouchette tracery.

The buildings that remain are of the 13th–15th centuries, including a magnificent tomb in the north part of the chancel.

The Cham people's system of festivals in Vietnam consists of agricultural festivals, religious festivals, dancing festivals, chancel festivals and tower festivals.

The chancel was painted by Matej Langus (1792–1855), and the altars are the work of Andrej Rovšek Sr. (1836–1903).

The church is built in brick with stone dressings and a red tile roof. The tower and nave are in Romanesque style and the chancel is in Gothic Revival style. Its plan consists of a six-bay nave, a chancel, and a northwest tower. The tower has four stages, with angle buttresses rising to a pinnacle at each corner.

The interior consists of a single cell with no division between the nave and the chancel. The roof is rib vaulted, and is decorated with roundels containing Gothic motifs and the heads of putti. The chancel contains a screen supported by four Doric columns. At the west end is a canted gallery supported by square fluted wooden pillars.

The church contains more medieval fittings and furniture than any other Cheshire church. Between the nave and the chancel is a screen, and there are parclose screens between the aisles and the chapels. The chancel screen, dated 1500, is elaborately carved with representations of birds, roses, vines and foliage. It has ten bays with lierne vaulting.

The church is constructed in sandstone. Its plan consists of a nave with north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel, and a west tower. The architectural style of the chancel is Decorated, and the rest of the church is in Perpendicular style. The tower is in three stages, with a four- light west window.

The church is medieval and the chancel remains, but the remainder was heavily restored and rebuilt in 1842 by George Gilbert Scott and William Bonython Moffatt. It was consecrated on 5 September 1844 by the Bishop of Lincoln. The organ chamber was added in 1876 by Evans and Jolley of Nottingham. A new lectern and chancel stalls were provided.

The windows are Georgian in style, with sashes and small panes of glass. Inside the chapel are box pews, an octagonal pulpit and a carved reading desk. The chancel is panelled and divided from the nave by rails consisting of turned balusters. Hanging from a lintel at the entrance to the chancel are similar balusters forming an arch.

In the chapel is a coat of arms dated 1723. In the north wall between the chapel and the chancel is a 14th-century hagioscope. The south wall of the chancel contains a combined aumbry and piscina in two recesses with semicircular heads. The font is Norman, and consists of a square bowl on a 19th-century base.

The chancel and the south porch retain the original timber-framing. The west wall is painted to appear like timber-framing. The roof is of Kerridge stone slates. The plan of the church consists of a four-bay nave and a two-bay chancel, with a vestry projecting from its north wall, and a south porch.

The tower is Perpendicular in style, and dates from around 1500. The plan of the church consists of a tower at the west end in line with a nave of four bays and a chancel of three bays. There is a north aisle with a chapel at the west end extending as far as the chancel.

The nave has a hammerbeam roof and the chancel roof is barrel vaulted, both of these dating from 1902. In the chancel are a single piscina, a double piscina, and a niche for a sedilia. On the back of the niche is a fragment of painted diaper decoration. In some of the windows are pieces of medieval stained glass.

There is a bell tower rising above the east end of the south aisle. Under the east end of the church is an undercroft. The undercroft has three two-light east windows, above which is the four-light east window of the chancel. The top of the chancel is gabled and surmounted by a cross finial.

Situated in a grove of trees, this nave-and-chancel church dates from around 1100. Most of the surrounding walls are modern. The name derives from Righ Fearta, the burial place of the kings. The church, built in a simple style, has a granite doorway with sloping jambs and flat lintel and a granite chancel arch.

The porch has a flat roof, and it incorporates a 13th-century doorway. This has a pointed arch and its decoration includes some dogtooth carving. It is built against the blocked chancel arch, parts of which are still visible, including the ends of the nave arcades. The chancel stands on a plinth, and its north wall is blank.

The oldest part of the church is the chancel, which was built in the 13th century. The nave was built in the 14th century. The nave used to have aisles, but these were demolished in the 15th century. In the 15th century the west tower was built and a wooden tracery screen was inserted in the chancel arch.

The church is constructed in limestone with limestone dressings in the nave, and sandstone dressings in the chancel. The roof is of slate, with a stone ridge and copings. Fabric from the earlier church is incorporated in this church consisting of a window in the tower and niches in the chancel. The architectural style is Perpendicular.

It is suggested that the original church was a post-Roman British foundation, before the Anglo-Saxons occupied this area. The earliest reference to a church in written records dates from the late eleventh century. It then comprised a nave, chancel and tower which was destroyed by fire in 1190. A new chancel was built in the thirteenth century.

The church consists of a nave, aisles and a chancel. The chapel is in the North-east of the church, a crossing tower with a 2-stair turret. There are north and south porches. Both the chancel and the chapel are at a lower level than the transepts and crossing, with steps leading down to the east.

Foundations of previous buildings The chancel of the third edifice probably dates back to the middle of the 17th century. This church is eight times bigger than the first. The chancel is of a pentagonal design deep. It is consolidated by four buttresses, suggesting that it was once covered by a solid vault, probably of gothic design.

The church is constructed in red sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings. It has a roof of red tiles that are pierced along the ridge. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave, a short chancel with a vestry beneath, and a northeast tower. The tower is located in the angle between the nave and the chancel, and is buttressed.

There was a subsequent restoration in 1872 to 1874 which resulted in an almost complete rebuilding, except for the tower. The walls were built with Polyphant stone, the old pews were replaced by open benches of pitch pine. The chancel roof was decorated and the chancel was paved with encaustic tiles. The east window was replaced.

The chancel was lengthened by and on the south side over the vestry, a gallery was constructed for the organ, which had formerly been in the west gallery of the church. The east window was preserved and re-erected in the new chancel, along with its original stained glass. The church re-opened on 29 April 1877.

The church was built in 1867 to designs of the local architect Edward Banks. The aisles were added in 1869 and the church was consecrated on 3 November 1870 by the Bishop of Lichfield. The chancel was added in 1887. The chancel was decorated with wall paintings in 1903 by J. Edie Read and Wyndham Hughes.

The pulpit is Jacobean, possibly by the same craftsman who made much of the panelling in Chastleton House. It is marked with the date 1623. Originally sited on the other side of the chancel arch, it was built as a triple-decker, with integral reading desk and clerk's desk. The pews in the nave and chancel are Victorian.

The nave and chancel are divided by an arch and by three steps leading up from the nave. The chancel and sanctuary are separated by an altar rail set on top of some wooden panels. There is a pair of windows in the west wall decorated with tracery (stonework within the window frame forming a pattern).

The new tower had wooden board cladding at the belfry stage, and a timbered spire. The chancel was also enlarged at this time to its present length. On the inner sill of the north-west window in the chancel there is an inscription c.1400. It reads: ‘Hic jacet d°. Willms Savage quondam rector istius ecciesie’ – i.e.

Inside the church the arcades are carried on octagonal piers without capitals. The chancel arch is decorated with Tudor roses. On the north side of the chancel is a piscina. Removed from the older church are a chandelier, the organ case of 1826, the Royal arms of William IV, and monuments dating back to the 18th century.

Both the nave and the chancel are richly decorated with church murals from the 1460s. The vaults in the nave contain pictures which tell the story of Genesis, while the chancel show the Last Judgment. Stylistically, the murals are related to those in Vittskövle Church. Belonging to the church is a Madonna from the 1430s, made in Lübeck.

The chapel on the north side of the chancel is the old Lady Chapel, which is very hard to date: though it must be later than the chancel it contains a mediaeval stone altar. The recess on the north side was formerly the site of the organ but has more recently been used as a vestry.

The roof is tiled with locally quarried Horsham stone. The chancel has hood-moulded trefoiled windows in its liturgical North and South walls. Also in the south wall is an ornate priest's door with a pointed-arched head. A hood-moulded piscina and aumbry, both dating from when the church was built, are also visible on the chancel walls.

Access from the nave is via four ogival arcades resting on simple round columns. Today, a medieval sarcophagus and several Roman spolia are kept in the side aisle. In the first half of the 13th century, the originally smaller chancel was converted into the present chancel tower. Around 1260, a cross-ribbed vault and large tracery window were added.

The tower arch dates from the 15th century and has a pointed head. The chancel arch is Norman, and has a semicircular head. The capitals are carved, on one side with dancing stags, and on the other with volutes. Above the chancel arch is the fragment of a wall painting depicting a crowned head and the initial "M".

The chancel is long and wide. The chancel arch dates to the 11th century and is the oldest part of the church still visible. The head is of two rings, with plaster or rubble filling. It has 14 small, variously sized voussoirs and has become slightly flattened as a result of subsidence with the jambs not quite vertical.

Its left capital is decorated with leaves, and the right capital with scallops. The south wall of the chancel contains two lancets, a two-light window, and a round-headed priest's door. The east window in the chancel has three lights, and in the north wall are two round-headed lancets. The organ chamber also has lancet windows.

The church is a Grade I Listed building. Major restoration took place in 1900. A plaque inside the church reads The nave, aisle and tower of this church were erected and the chancel and chancel aisle restored A.D.1900 by Henry Lord Belper in memory of his son William Strutt born Feb.8th. 1875, died Oct.

St Tanwg's church is a simple rectangular building, long (west-east) and wide (north-south), with a continuous nave and chancel. The nave is probably 13th century, with the chancel added in the 15th century. The church is built of local rubble stone with larger stone quoins and gritstone dressings. The roof is of slate with rough stone dressings.

The arcades and chancel date to the 13th century, the tower and aisle are 14th-15th century. The building was restored in the 19th century: in 1841, 1856, and 1868-69 (the latter of which by Kirk and Parry) which involved the rebuilding of the north aisle, the south porch, the roofs of the aisle and the chancel.

In the churchyard are three memorials, each listed at Grade II. To the south of the chancel is an ashlar headstone dated 1716, and to the southeast of the chancel is a similar headstone inscribed with the dates 1748 and 1771. To the south of the nave is a chest tomb dating from the early 19th century.

The church was built in 1815 on the site of a previous church. The chancel of the previous church had blown down in 1802. A bellcote was added during the Victorian era. The interior was restored in 2001 when the chancel screen and choir stalls were removed, a toilet was provided and the entrance was improved.

The arms, possibly originally positioned within the chancel arch, had been held in storage for perhaps 150 years, since probably after an 1856 chancel restoration.

The Pares family of Hopwell took over as patrons in the late 18th century and remain so to this day. The building has had many changes and enlargements over the centuries which is evident in the overall appearance. The chancel was rebuilt by Thomas Pares in 1803. He added the Pares vault to the north of the chancel.

The church is a composite building of flint and ragstone rubble with ragstone and Caen Stone dressings. Generally the earlier work is flint/ragstone and the later rubble/limestone. The plan is traditional with a rectangular chancel, arch, nave with aisles north and south and west end tower. The chancel, nave and lower parts of the tower are Norman.

At the west end of the church is a pointed window over which is a plain arched bellcote. In the chancel there are paired lancet windows on the sides, and a two-light east window. Attached to the walls of the church are 18th-century headstones. Inside the chancel are a 19th-century credence table and a piscina.

After 20 years, Morse is thought to have raised and spent £18,000 on the interior alone, re-roofing the aisles and transepts, and redesigning the chancel. Apart from the organ of 1871 (which was removed in 1915) the chancel stalls, bishop's throne, reredos, altar, sedilla and rood-screen are all from this date and still extant.

St Martin's is constructed in ashlar on its west front, and in coursed limestone elsewhere. It is roofed in stone slates, and the architectural style is Norman revival. Its plan consists of a six-bay nave with north and south aisles and transepts, and a two-bay chancel. Between the nave and chancel is a central tower.

Duke Chapel's chancel contains the altar, the choir stalls, the pulpit, and the lectern. Patriarchs, apostles, saints, and other religious figures carved in limewood and oak appear in the niches of the choir stalls and in the decorative screen behind the altar. Scenes from the Passion are carved into the north and south walls of the chancel.

Interior, Holy Trinity, Wensley (June 2018) The church is considered to be as notable for its furnishings as for its architecture. In the chancel is a piscina with a trefoil head. On the chancel floor are two brass memorials. The choir stalls have carved ends dated 1527, and the communion rail dates from the 17th century.

A five-story tower was added in the west in 1762–1765, and in 1828 the church was extended to the east, when the old chancel and sacristy was demolished. A new triangular cross was built. The roof is hipped over the chancel. The baptismal font with carved ornaments are from the 12th century or 13th century.

The chancel is groin vaulted. The north transept contains an organ and in the south transept is a gallery. The stalls in the chancel are made from Spanish chestnut; they were designed by Wilson and carved by Arthur Grove with zoomorphic images. These include a hare, a tortoise, squirrels, rabbits, an owl, a mouse, a kingfisher, and a dolphin.

The transepts of the church are formed by projections aligned with the two most easterly bays of the nave. Housed in the northern facing chancel is the Weedon Memorial Chapel. It is separated from the church by a face brick balustrade. Housed in the chancel on the southern side of the church is a vestry and organ case.

St John's is constructed in ashlar Magnesian Limestone, and has a graduated slate roof. Its plan consists of three-bay nave and a two-bay chancel, with north and south aisles and chapels constituting a single cell. It has a gabled south porch, and is in Gothic Revival style. On the roof between the nave and chancel is bellcote.

On the former manor of the Ayshford family, next to the manor house which survives, stands a 15th century chapel of ease. It consists of a rectangular aisle-less block containing a nave and chancel. It is considered to be large for a private chapel in Devon. The wagon-roof and carved oak chancel screen are 15th- century.

In 1740 the 2nd Earl of Lichfield had the chancel rebuilt. In 1774 the 4th Earl of Lichfield had the nave and aisles remodelled. The chancel was rebuilt again in 1851. In 2001 the Church of England Benefice of Ascott-under-Wychwood, Chadlington and Spelsbury merged with that of Enstone and Heythrop to form the Chase Benefice.

St John of Beverley's was described in 1866 as having a tower and spire and a nave and chancel. The south aisle had been removed in 1802 and the south arcade walled up with bricks. The 1867 restoration included a new south aisle. The vestry was also added in the 19th century, as were the chancel arch and reredos.

These were later incorporated in probably the fourteenth and fifteenth century when changes were made to the church. The building at that time was used for Catholic worship services. The current church building, completed in 1477 was designed by . He devised a new chancel with chancel ambulatory and vaults in the ship style of the Brabantine Gothic.

It has three stages and a parapet with battlements. The main structure was built in 1836 and has a nave, a chancel and a porch on the south side. The interior has ribbed Gothic vaulting to the nave and chancel, a thirteenth century font, a Jacobean pulpit, a Gothic organ and box pews from 1836 in the nave.

It has a chancel, north and south transepts, vestry, and a south chapel beside the chancel, but the nave and north and south aisles comprise only one bay ending in a "temporary" west wall that has stood for more than a century. The building is coursed rubblestone apart from the temporary west wall, which is brick.

The porch was originally built of brick in the late Middle Ages but was later heightened while new doors and windows were added. In 1886–87, the old chancel was demolished. An old grave containing two skeletons was discovered, possibly dating from a former wooden church. The chancel was rebuilt in yellow brick with a semi-circular apse.

Internally there is a round chancel arch. In the north wall of the chancel is a carved stone coat of arms dated 1585. The lectern dates from the 17th century and the pulpit from about 1700. The font is from the 12th century and consists of a circular tub on a later base, with a 17th century cover.

It is supported by a moulded post and is believed to be of unique design. The nave has a number of 15th-century windows with traces of mediaeval glass. The remainder of the church was largely rebuilt in 1891. For a long period up to the rebuilding the church had no chancel, the chancel arch having been bricked up.

The plan consists of nave, chancel, north aisle, south vestry, south porch and west tower. The tower has three stages, the parapet being battlemented and there being a gargoyle on the west wall. Internally, the nave has an arch-braced collar beam roof while the chancel has a wagon roof with plaster panels and moulded ribs.

Including the nave and tower are a west porch and lower chancel. The windows of the church include a lancet window near the gabled porch, three trefoiled lights for the west window, ogee lights, chancel windows with 20th- century glass, and a south nave window with glass from 1890. Within the church, the lead-lined font is from 1689.

The triangular chancel arch between chancel and unaisled nave is a 16th- century repair to the original 13th-century arch. The walls and wagon roofs are plastered and the floors of brick. The windows are large simple lancets, with the east window consisting of three together under a rere-arch. The tower has a weatherboarded bell chamber.

Its plain chancel arch is also Saxon and its imposts are re-used Roman bricks. The aisles, with their Norman arcades, were added in the 12th century: the south first, and the north slightly later. The Aylesbury-style font is also 12th century. The chancel is now Early English, having been rebuilt in the 13th century.

The lower-pitched chancel roof is probably 16th century. Inside the church there is an archway through the tower with 13th-century arches in pointed style at either end. The chancel has a 13th-century piscina (damaged) in the south wall. The nave has traces of early wall painting and also post-Reformation texts (16th-to-18th- century).

St Mary's is constructed in flint rubble with ashlar and brick dressings. The nave has a slate roof, and the roof of the chancel is tiled. Its plan consists of a wide four-bay nave without aisles, a narrower, lower and shorter chancel, a south porch and a west tower. The tower is in four stages with diagonal buttresses.

In the 15th century the nave was rebuilt and the north aisle and south porch were built. The north porch was added in the 19th century. The church was restored in 1852, when the nave and chancel roofs were rebuilt and a Gothic Revival chancel screen was installed. All Saints' is a Grade I listed building.

The church is constructed in flint rubble, with limestone and clunch dressings. The roofs have red tiles and the porch is timber. Its plan consists of a nave with a south porch, a chancel, and a west tower. The architectural style of the nave and chancel is Anglo-Saxon, and the rest of the church is Gothic.

Again, during that period, an extra center column was added. The chancel was torn down again in 1684, when a new and wider chancel was made, with the same width as the nave. Then, during the period 1721–1723, the church was made into a cruciform. A new ridge turret had to be made, to fit the new shape.

The chancel is the earliest part of the church, and is unusually large in relation to the rest of the fabric. It is long, and is both wider and higher than the nave (which at is slightly longer). The design of the chancel windows' tracery indicates a building date of c. 1300–1310, as does the contemporary armorial glass.

To the north of the nave is a porch at the main entrance, and to the south of the chancel is a vestry. There are coupled lancet windows, and a triple lancet window in the west wall. Internally, the roof's timber structure includes strutted king posts and arched braces. The nave has four bays and the chancel one.

The west window has three lights and the east window has two. The stained glass in the east window is by Thomas Willement, and it is possible that the glass in the west window is by the same designer. The chancel arch dates from the 14th century. In the chancel is a combined piscina and sedilia.

The south wall of the aisle has three three-light windows, and at the east end is a five-light window. The east window of the chancel has three lights. In the north wall of the chancel is a small 12th-century window, and the Anglo-Saxon stones have been re-set in the northeast corner.

St Margaret's is constructed in common brick, with dressings in red brick and stone, and has a slate roof. Its plan consists of a nave and chancel forming a single vessel, the nave being flanked by aisles. There is no clerestory. On the roof, at the division of the nave and chancel, is a timber bellcote.

The tower arch is pointed and is partly obscured by the west gallery. The gallery is carried on a pair of wooden columns. On the south wall of the nave is a blocked round-headed doorway, and on the north wall is the blocked arcade. The chancel arch is pointed, and in the chancel is a blocked south door.

The parish Church of St Mary in Luccombe, Somerset, England has a chancel dating from about 1300, with the nave and tower being added around 1450. It has been designated as a grade I listed building. It was built by John Maris of Stogursey. The chancel is the earliest part of the church dating from around 1300.

Existing structural and excavated remains have revealed the extent of the former monastery. Of the original three-aisled Romanesque basilica, the high chancel and its underlying crypt have been preserved. Despite its simplicity, the chancel conveys a sense of the impressive size of the ancient basilica. The crypt is a five-aisled, groined vault, supported by columns and pillars.

On the wall of the north aisle is a fragment of a 14th-century wall painting. In the chancel are 15th-century pews with poppyheads and with finials carved with lions and bears. The windows in the south windows of the chancel and clerestory contain fragments of medieval stained glass. There is a ring of three bells.

On the corners of the church are buttresses; these are square in the lower parts and octagonal above. Along the sides of the church are four lancet windows. The chancel apse contains five windows, the central one with a gablet. Inside the church, the nave walls are plastered, and the chancel is lined with brown and yellow bricks.

The Italiante Solomonic columns, which feature flower garland and acanthus details, resemble those of the baldachin of St. Peter's Basilica. A copula and two massive oculi in the chancel ceiling provides natural light to the chancel and high altar. The ceiling of the nave in the Baroque illusionist style and executed by José Joaquim da Rocha (c. 1737-1807).

The church was built between 1311-1484. Its east chancel was completed in 1322, nave built from 1373-1436, and west choir, which bridges the street, from 1453-1471. The church was consecrated in 1485 by the Bishop of Würzburg. In 1525 the peasant leader Florian Geyer read aloud the articles of the revolting peasants from its west chancel.

There is a triple arch piscina with double "bason" (c.1260) and a 15th-century single piscina. The north and south chapels, flanking the chancel, open to the chancel by fine arches of two chamfered orders. The south chapel, now used as a vestry, has a four-light east window similar to that in the north chapel.

The church dates from the Norman era in the 12th century, when the nave, chancel and north aisle were built. The chancel was rebuilt at some time between 1250 and 1270. In 1320 the south aisle was added, followed by the west tower and spire in 1380. The spire was rebuilt in 1860, and repaired in 1990.

St Mary's is constructed in gritstone rubble and has a graduated stone slate roof. Its plan consists of a three-bay nave with a south porch, and a single-bay chancel with a north vestry. A two-arched bellcote stands on the junction between the nave and the chancel. Much of the church is Norman in style.

However, there are no churches left that still have only the tower. The sequence of development into the usual stone cruciform church would have been: #A small tower church built in timber, with a small eastern extension for the chancel and sometimes also a small "west-nave". #Replacement of the chancel and west-nave, if present, using stone.

At the summit is an embattled parapet with crocketted finials on the corners. The east window in the chancel has three lights and is in Perpendicular style. In the south wall of the chancel are a square-headed two- light window and two lancet windows. On its north wall is the vestry and a pointed two-light window.

In a survey recorded in 1751, two bells were noted in the west end and the nave and chancel were thatched. The present single bell, marked "chapel of Ely house, London", is dated 1769. The 19th-century roof is of collar rafter type. The two centred chancel arch, 19th century, have two moulded orders, the inner on engaged colonnettes.

The chancel was added in 1877 and a porch was built in the 1990s. The north side has access to the crypt. The south side has the old and new entrances and a rose window. The chancel has a lean-to south vestry with exterior shouldered-headed door and a two light window with hood moulds.

A date of 1630 inscribed over the south door is often taken as the date of completion of the building. It was given a new chancel between 1882-84 by Giles and Brookhouse of Derby. The new chancel was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield standing in for the Bishop of Southwell on 22 May 1884.

The same bishop made some structural modifications to the basilica, extending the two side aisles towards the chancel and moving the altar back. Later, further changes were made to the furnishings of the chancel. Restoration work was undertaken to consolidate the structure from 1931, including the campanile, which was destroyed by a lightning strike in 1943.

The oldest of the aisle windows date to 1890, but most were installed at the same time as the chancel redecoration. The designers include Tiffany Studios of New York City and Clayton & Bell Studios. In the 1930s, the faux blocking was removed, leaving only tracery around the windows. The chancel was renovated for cleaning and maintenance in the 1990s.

'Watermillock', Bulmer's History & Directory Of Cumberland, 1901 (Tbulmer & Co., January 1901) The present nave stands on the foundations of the older church, but the chancel is an addition. In 1884 the church tower was rebuilt to give it its current height. The chancel was built in memory of the Reverend David Pritchard, who was rector from 1876 to 1880.

The church was built in 1844–45, and designed by the Manchester architect Richard Lane. The chancel was added in about 1870.

The chancel roof is from the late 15th century, and the chapel roof is from the early part of the following century.

The roof is modern, but the moulded principals of 1626 remain. The weathering of the earlier roof remains above the chancel arch.

Inside the chancel, there is, in a recess, a 14th-century wooden effigy and there is a wooden altar table of 1627.

In the chancel are box pews. The altar is Jacobean in style. In the arcade is a wrought iron screen with gates.

The chancel and arch contain mural paintings. The church grounds and gardens were preserved in 1924 and are now a tourist destination.

In 1969 the chancel was further restored. The parish is part of the Blackdown benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.

Inside the church is a tower arch, a chancel arch and a three-bay arcade, all dating from the early 14th century.

The church dates from the 13th century. It was restored in 1837. The chancel was restored and the vestry rebuilt in 1856.

This first window concludes with images of peace, most specifically with a dove, which soars more than 80 feet above the chancel.

In 1900 the chancel was deepened to created a complete cruciform plan and an exterior porch (lychgate) was added to the church.

There is a fine window in the south chancel by John Hall & Sons of Bristol & London showing the Archangels Michael and Gabriel.

The earliest parts of the church are the chancel of c.1200. The church is noted for its fine collection of memorials.

The transepts and chancel are similarly divided, with four-light Decorated windows at their ends. Along the top runs an openwork parapet.

Medieval statue of St Stephen on the church tower In the Church of England parish church of Saint Stephen the tympanum over the south door is Norman and both the arcade between the nave and the north aisle and the responds of the chancel arch are in the Transitional style between Norman and the Early English Gothic. These features date the church building to about AD 1200. St Stephen's has four lancet windows dating from late in the 12th century or early in the 13th century: two in the south wall of the chancel and two in the north wall of a chapel on the north side of the chancel. In the chancel the east window and the easternmost window in the south wall are Decorated Gothic, which dates them to between 1250 and 1350.

Over on the right side of the chancel stood a table of prothesis used for the to-be-consecrated bread and wine for the communion, as well as other offerings as the service demanded. A lectern was provided in the chancel on the right side for the Scripture readings; while at the front of the chancel two further lecterns, on the left and on the right, were used for the Gospel and Epistle readings in the eucharist service. A pulpit on the left side (as looking towards the altar) would be provided for preaching: sometimes this would be placed adjoining the chancel, sometimes in the nave among the congregation. At the back of the nave near an entrance a font with a cover would be placed for baptisms.

The reredos and south chancel window were presented in 1912. The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 22 February 1967.

Here Grew officiated till September 1689. He died on 22 October of that year, and was buried in the chancel of St. Michael's.

In the north and south sides of the chancel are square-headed two-light windows, and the east window is in Perpendicular style.

The stained glass is unexceptional except that the chancel west lancet retains some medieval glass to its central section showing seraphim and wheels.

A further restoration was carried out on the chancel in 1908 by Charles Hadfield of Sheffield, when five stained glass windows were inserted.

Later a gallery was added by Sharpe and his partner E. G. Paley. The east window in the chancel was replaced in 1891.

This society aimed to implement the reformations of the Tractarian Movement through igniting a change in ecclesiological architecture in England. The favoured design or icon of the society ultimately came to be an idealised version of the 14th Century English country parish church and particularly the designs modelled after this type by its favoured architects in the 1830s and 1840s. This design stressed the proper definition and separation of the nave and chancel; the allocation of the chancel with fair proportions; the placement of the font at the entrance to the church; the addition of an exterior porch; the provision of aisles with the subsequent threefold division of the nave symbolising the holy trinity; the provision of an un-galleried nave furnished with open benches; the establishment of the chancel, sanctuary, and altar as the focus of the congregation through their elevation with steps (ideally three each); the sub- division of the chancel into a chorus cantorum and sacrarium; and the alignment of the church so that it faced east. Church design should also encourage the exclusion of the congregation from the chancel.

All Saints' Church in High Laver consists of a nave, chancel, west tower, south porch, and north vestry. The church was constructed from flint and rubble during the late 12th century; there also remains evidence that some Roman bricks and tiles were used as they are visible among the chancel walls, and also the north wall of the nave. Over the years there has been refurbishment and maintenance on the church. In the 15th or 16th century the roofs of the chancel and nave, which are ceiled in except for the plates and tie-beams, were renewed.

St Giles' Church has stained glass from the 19th and 20th centuries. Many memorials can be found inside and outside the church. The church has late 19th- and early 20th- century stained glass. The oldest window is in the north wall of the chancel, designed by the Jones & Willis firm in about 1892. Charles Eamer Kempe designed the east window of the chancel in 1895; it depicts the Crucifixion of Jesus. Another Jones & Willis window, dating from 1895 and depicting Faith, is in the crossing, and they also designed a second window in the north wall of the chancel in about 1908.

The central arcade has four arches supported by octagonal piers. The two arches to the east are to the north side of the chancel, which is slightly smaller than the nave at ; the other two are on the north side of the nave. The reset 12th-century arch in the west wall is decorated with chevrons and the heads of 25 rams and bulls. There is no structural division between the nave and the chancel, but the south sanctuary (at the east end of the chancel) is raised by two steps and is marked out by a communion rail.

The arcade of the nave is from a rebuilding of c.1300, when the aisles were also rebuilt. The 14th- century aisles and the north and east walls of the chancel were razed when the church was widened during two Victorian restorations: in 1853 Raphael Brandon rebuilt the north aisle and added the porch; in 1872 Arthur Blomfield rebuilt the south aisle, the chancel and the clerestory of the nave including the chancel arch. During these works Anglo-Saxon footings of quoins were found which indicated that the original nave was wider than it is today.

Amendments to the fabric of the church were made in the early modern period, beginning when the chancel was rebuilt on a smaller scale some time after the Reformation and inset with 12th- and 13th-century stonework, the whole thing described as "very miserable" by Edward Trollope. This was replaced in 1812 by a Georgian- style chancel, constructed under the guidance of the rector, Charles James Blomfield. The North Aisle was rebuilt in 1848 and a new pulpit, screen and pews were added the following year. The Chancel of St Botolph's Church The Victorian period witnessed extensive restoration work at Quarrington.

Decimus Burton's design for St Mary's Church—described as "disappointingly limp" by Nairn and Pevsner—was simple Early English Gothic Revival. The surviving parts of the original nave are late Norman, from the "Transitional" period into Gothic architecture. Parts of the north and south interior walls were also retained, and fragments of the original chancel arch remain. There is a tower at the west end, topped with a tall spire and incorporating the entrance door, a nave with a galleried west end, a central chancel arch leading to a three- bay chancel, and a vestry to the northeast.

In the porch is a re-set Norman doorway with zigzag carving. On the east wall of the nave on each side of the chancel arch are stretches of a Norman frieze decorated with saltaire crosses. The church originally had transepts, but due to extensions of the church, they now lie east of the chancel arch, the north transept having been absorbed in the aisle. The south chapel was originally a chantry, then walled off from the chancel, has been made into a memorial to the victims of the First World War, and is known as St George's chapel.

Tame rebuilt the church purposely to install his stained glass, and thus the design is "necessarily somewhat cramped". The church was consecrated in 1497 by the Bishop of Worcester, within whose diocese lay most of Gloucestershire at that time. It consists of a chancel, nave, a tower between them, and two aisles, which extend without any external break to about half the length of the chancel. According to Neale "This arrangement, necessary to secure the required number of windows, somewhat injures the effect of the exterior, and makes the distinction between chancel and nave less marked than might have been wished".

The church which contained much notable Romanesque decoration and an elaborate chancel arch appears to have been close to collapse. Cockerell encased the chancel, keeping the arch in position but the outer walls were completely re-built and the exterior ornamentation of arcades and round headed windows were replaced in new stonework. A new tower over a porch was built on the south side, which gave added stability to the older structure. The nave was completely re-built using some new romanesque mot is and copying others, such as the engaged columns, from those on the exterior of the chancel.

When the Abbey was dissolved in 1538 the advowson of Hethe passed to the Crown, which has retained it ever since. In 1854 Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford complained that the St. Edmund and St. George was "in most miserable order" and "utterly too small for the population". In 1859 the Gothic Revival architect G.E. Street restored the building, widened the chancel arch, and added the bell-turret and the north aisle. Street moved the Decorated Style east window from the chancel to the north aisle, and inserted a new east window in the chancel in its place.

All Saints' Church in Walsoken is a Grade I listed building and consists of a nave with south and north aisles, chancel with south and north chapels, south porch The nave and chancel are both late Norman and date from c.1146.Norfolk 2: Norfolk: North- west and South, By Nikolaus Pevsner and Bill Wilson, Walsoken entry. 0-300-09657-7 Above the chancel arch is a 15th-century carving of King David with harp. This church is crowned by a prominent west tower with four turrets and a spire which dates from the medieval period.

The entrance is in the lowest stage of the tower; above it the roofline of the original 11th-century church can be discerned. Inside is the nave with its north and south aisles and south chapel (now used to house the organ), and the chancel with a restored chancel arch (originally built in the Norman era using clunch, a common building material in Sussex). In the north wall of the chancel, a 14th- century aumbry can be discerned. The tower has rounded-headed windows in its middle stage and tall, much narrower rounded lancets in the upper stage.

This vestry was added in the 1920s. The nave in its present form dates from the 13th and 14th centuries: no features remain from the original structure. There is a wide range of medieval windows throughout, ranging from 14th-century openings in the nave and Early English Gothic lancets in the chancel to a 15th-century Perpendicular Gothic east window in the chancel and an arched window of 1534 in the west wall. The church was re- roofed internally in two stages: the nave in the 16th century (it was given a crown post roof), and the chancel in the following century.

The arch to the north nave chapel is similar. The chancel is separated from its chapels with two-bay arcades on each side. The arcade to the south dates from the 13th century but includes a 12th-century column. The north arcade is contemporary with the north chapel. The chancel arch is 13th century on possibly 12th-century bases. The tower arch is 15th century and the arch between the south aisle and the south chapel is 15th century. The roof of the north chancel chapel is early 16th-century with moulded timbers. The other roofs are 19th-century and boarded.

Chancel and 15th-century south and north chancel chapels from the east The oldest parts of the church are the nave, essentially Norman, and a west tower hood mould which could be 11th-century (Pevsner). Chancel chapels were added in the 15th century: the south in 1448 by Ralph Rochford, and the north in 1460–70 by Henry Rochford, brother of Ralph. The Rochfords, who came to England under the Norman Conquest, took their name from the town of Rochford in Essex, and gave their name to the Stoke-Rochford manor and parish.Cox, J. Charles (1916): Lincolnshire p.

The Early English pointed arch and the tower either built or re-modelled towards the end of the 13th century. The stone screen was added to the wall between the nave and the chancel towards the end of the 14th century. It is richly ornamented on the eastern side but plainer on the west as here there was a carved wooden screen with Rood Loft and Rood above and an altar on each side of the archway into the Chancel. The Chancel was re-built and lengthened in 1399 and the squared headed perpendicular windows replaced the narrower Norman windows in the aisles.

The aisles and clerestory have lancet windows, and the whole composition is in the Early English style. The chancel and tower were rebuilt in the 15th century in the Perpendicular style, and the tall octagonal shingled spire was added in the 16th century. The chancel has Perpendicular-style windows with two lights; some of the tower windows more closely resemble the earlier Decorated Gothic style. The east window of the chancel is more ornate than usual: paired shorter lights flank a much taller central light which is surrounded at the top by sexfoils (six- lobed circular openings).

On the interior, the church as no chancel arch, but a large timber arch of 1865–1866 which serves to divide nave and chancel. There are two arches of unequal width from the chancel to the North chapel, one with a hood mould with mid 14th century headstops, the other almost plain and much taller, with a triangular, possibly 15th century head. There is a 15th-century polygonal font with quatrefoils on the bowl and tracery on the stem, a stone pulpit of c.1865 in a hard Italianate style, with mosaic inlay and Roman-style carved heads.

The northern end of the church comprises a chancel and two transepts. The chancel is a square planned, gable roofed structure abutting the body of the church to which it is similarly detailed although subordinate in height to the principal building. Flanking the chancel are smaller, square planned abutments with hipped roofs, which are in the form of transepts but are, in fact, small rooms, a vestry and a store. Reverend A. E. Loxton at the altar, 1952 Internally the church is arranged around a central rectangular nave dominated by dark stained timber boarded ceiling, on the underside of a steeply pitched roof.

Supporting the roof and defining the nave bays internally are a number of dark stained timber, king post roof trusses. At the northern end of the nave is a chancel, separated from the body of the church by a pointed chancel arch. Internally the walls of the body of the church are rendered and scoured to resemble ashlar stone work. Though externally the church seems to have transepts, these projections, in fact, house a vestry to the west and a store room to the east with entrance to the rooms through timber doors flanking the chancel arch.

A pair of tomb recesses in a similar style was installed, one on the south side of the chancel beside the sedilia and the other on the north side. In the transept are three rare 14th-century oak effigies, two of them under canopies like those in the chancel. Some 13th- and 14th-century stained glass survives in the church. Monument to John and Bridget Playdell in Holy Rood church Late in the 15th century a vestry was added on the north side of the chancel, more windows were inserted in the nave and the nave roof was replaced.

Whitwick church website Talbot is said to have been a giant, and this accounts for the exceptional length of the monument. The church was a victim of aggressive restoration during the 19th century, when the chancel was rebuilt by James Piers St Aubyn, 1848-1849. A vaulted substructure or crypt is situated beneath the chancel, but is not thought to have ever been used as a charnel house. The building of this understructure would have been necessary to maintain a level between the chancel and the nave due to the steepness of sloping ground at the east end.

The chancel was entirely rebuilt, the tower was made higher and the porch was built. The aisles were widened, given new windows, and extended westwards to flank either side of the tower. A rood screen was installed between the chancel and nave. The chancel and high altar were dedicated in 1326, which may therefore have been the year that the remodelling was completed. The high- pitched 13th century nave roof was replaced, probably later in the 14th century, with a Perpendicular Gothic clerestory and low-pitched roof. The architect Richard Pace designed St Andrew's Rectory, which was built in 1813.

The restoration began with the removal of the Great Gallery organ and, after it was reinstalled and operable, work began on the Chancel organ. In addition to new pipe work, voice work, new wind chests, Schantz built two new identical four-manual consoles: one for the Gallery and one for the Chancel allowing the organist to control both organs from either location. The chancel console can be moved around the sanctuary to suit various needs. In the original Moller installation, the Great Gallery organ console had four-manuals and could control over both the Gallery and Sanctuary organs.

St Peter's Church, which had been rebuilt in 1813, comprised a chancel, a nave of three bays and a clerestory, aisles, a south porch, and four bells, one of which was previously in the parish hamlet of Whyle, in a "low" western tower with a spire. The south aisle with arcade and clerestory was built in 1850 for £916, and the chancel restored in 1857 for £615, by Henry Woodyer. The chancel is floored with encaustic tiles and contains a carved stone reredos, a piscina, and a sedilia. All windows in the church contain stained glass.

The tower at the west end has a saddleback roof. Inside, the chancel stood higher than the altar and sanctuary, and was separated from it with a lintel; similarly, a lintel, rather than the more usual chancel arch, separated the chancel from the five-bay nave. To make the altar as clearly visible as possible from all parts of the church, Goodhart-Rendel made the nave wide and the north and south aisles narrow and low. There was also a baptistery at a higher level than the nave, a porch, a side chapel and a vestry.

The roof is tiled. The church has a chancel, chancel arch, nave with aisles on the north and south sides, vestry at the northeast corner, baptistery, buttressed narthex (entered from the nave through arches in the buttresses, beneath an overall arch and tympanum) and clerestories above the aisles. Both the aisles and the clerestories have five pairs of lancet windows. Interior features include a sedilia, organ chamber, choir stalls, chancel screen, ornate multi-sided pulpit with green marble work, stone reredos designed as a triptych and depicting the Ascension of Jesus, and a marble font depicting an angel kneeling with a shell.

Anglo-Saxon long-and-short stonework is visible in the corner to the left. The south aisle and the upper parts of the tower and spire are 13th century work; the intersecting tracery of the east window of the south aisle shows that it is slightly later, dating from around 1300, as does the nearby piscina. The chancel arch is probably also from the late 13th century, and the double piscina in the chancel may be of a similar age. The Easter Sepulchre in the chancel is in the slightly later (Decorated) style, but is a fairly crude example.

Designed in 1842 in an Early English Gothic idiom of around the mid-thirteenth century, the church consists of: a four-bay nave, buttressed at the corners, with north porch and a single bellcote astride the west gable; a two-bay chancel with diagonal buttressing to its east wall; and a sacristy abutting the chancel south wall. It is constructed of ashlar sandstone and has corrugated iron roofs. The nave and porch interiors are of ashlar sandstone, the chancel and sacristy being plastered. The nave has an open timber roof with arch-braced collar tie trusses having arch-braced king posts.

Regensburg Cathedral is the bishop's church and the principal church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Regensburg. It is also the home of Regensburger Domspatzen, which serves as the Cathedral choir, and is rich in tradition. The structure is considered the most significant Gothic work in southern Germany. The Cathedral is also the burial place of important bishops, including Johann Michael von Sailer (1829-1832, memorial built by Konrad Eberhard in the south chancel), Georg Michael Wittmann (1832-1833, memorial also by Konrad Eberhard in the north chancel), and Archbishop Michael Buchberger (1927-1961, likewise in the north chancel).

A church here was mentioned in the Domesday Book, but nothing remains of the building. There was a two-cell church (consisting of nave and chancel) built about 1200; in the late 13th century, north and south transepts were added.St Andrew's Church, Clifton Campville: Church Guide, obtained at the church in 2009. In the 14th century the building was enlarged: the south aisle was created, incorporating the earlier south transept; an extra bay was added to the chancel which comprises the present sanctuary; the lady chapel was built on the south side adjoining the chancel; the tower and spire were built.

The church is in the northeastern corner of the Green, the ancient heart of the village. A place of worship has stood in the position since the Saxon period, although there is disagreement over whether any part of the current structure is of Saxon origin. The Normans started building a cruciform church in the early 12th century, but its tower (located on the site of the Saxon building's chancel) collapsed during construction, destroying the new chancel and the transept, although the nave survived. By the early 13th century the chancel had been rebuilt and the nave extended by four bays.

Anglo-Saxon long-and-short stonework is visible in the corner to the left. The south aisle and the upper parts of the tower and spire are 13th century work; the intersecting tracery of the east window of the south aisle shows that it is slightly later, dating from around 1300, as does the nearby piscina. The chancel arch is probably also from the late 13th century, and the double piscina in the chancel may be of a similar age. The Easter Sepulchre in the chancel is in the slightly later (Decorated) style, but is a fairly crude example.

A plain parapet runs round the walls of the nave and a cross finial stands on the east gable. At the northeast junction of the nave and chancel is a hexagonal stair turret that leads to a walkway around the parapet; the turret is surmounted by a slate-covered spire. In the south wall of the chancel is an arched priest's doorway.

The chancel was added in the 13th century, followed by the south aisle in the 14th century, and then the tower in the late 14th century. In 1856 the east window, made by Messrs. Hardman showing the Resurrection and Crucifixion, was installed. In 1857 the chancel and nave were rebuilt, and the north aisle was added; these were designed by H. Woodyer.

The church is built in blocks of calciferous sandstone and has green slate roofs. The roofs have coped gables and cross finials. Its plan consists of a three bay nave with a south aisle and a south porch, and a three-bay chancel with a north vestry. On the gable between the nave and the chancel is a twin open bellcote.

The interior of the chancel at St Andrew's, intended as a memorial to the philanthropist William Cotton. The church is a large building in the Early English Gothic style, using Kentish ragstone with freestone dressings and a knapped flint. There is a slender flèche over the crossing. There are porches on the west and north sides and a large chancel to the east.

The chancel measures approximately by . The south wall has three stone ogeed arches indicating the position of sedilia for the bishop, priest and deacon. There is also an ogeed piscina; both these features of the chancel date from the 19th century. To the left of the east window is a wall monument to Sir Cyril Wyche who died in 1780.

The church is constructed in carrstone and brick. The aisles have lead roofs, and the nave and chancel are slated. Its plan consists of a nave with a clerestory and North and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel and a west tower. Its architectural style is Perpendicular, and it is said to be a "fine example" of this style.

The church is constructed in sandstone rubble. The roofs are slated on the south side, and covered in stone flags on the north. Its plan consists of a nave with a porch to the south and the Hilton Chapel to the north, a chancel wider than the nave, a north vestry, and a west tower. The nave measures by , and the chancel by .

The medieval church of St Mary has a chancel arch, one chancel window and a south doorway which date from c. 1200. There are a west tower, a north aisle and a north chapel. Features of interest include the early 18th-century pulpit and reader's desk, the Lord's prayer and creed mural painting, and some Jacobean carvings.Pevsner, N. (1952) South Devon.

The oldest fabric in the ruin dates from the late 13th century, and is found in the nave, the chancel, and the transepts. The tower was added when the church was remodelled in the 15th century. Although it is now a ruin, the church was still intact in 1883. The chancel was closed by the building of a west wall in 1972.

The south wall of the chancel has a two-light window dating from 1902 and a priest's door. The east window has three lights and dates from about 1300. In the north wall of the chancel is a 13th-century lancet window and a dormer window with Y-tracery illuminating the organ loft. Around the exterior of the church are carved heads.

The chancel and chancel arch date from the 13th century, the arch having scalloped imposts similar to Oving church. A crude and badly weathered Saxon fragment, which may represent a beheading, forms the top of one of the Norman nave windows. There is a plain tub font. The size of the yew tree by the present door suggests an ancient sacred site.

The plan of the church consists of a nave with a south porch, a chancel and a west tower. The south doorway dates from about 1200. Most of the windows are from the 15th century and have three lights, although the west window is large with five lights, and there is a lancet window dating from about 1200 in the north chancel wall.

The most recent of the Glendalough churches, St. Saviour's was built in the 12th century, probably at the time of St. Laurence O'Toole. The nave and chancel with their fine decorate stones were restored in the 1870s using stones found on the site. The Romanesque chancel arch has three orders, with highly ornamented capitals. The east window has two round-headed lights.

There are two lancet windows in the north and south walls of the nave, and two similar windows in the north and south sides of the chancel. The east window has three lights and a flat head. The porch is in flint and brick, and contains some brick diapering. Inside the church, the chancel arch is decorated with carved knots.

The church measures approximately by . It features heavy corner buttresses in front and has four pointed windows; two lancet windows are on the east wall, while there are two smaller windows on the north and south side of the chancel. A step divides the chancel and the nave. The main entrance to the church lies at the west end of the north wall.

The four-bay arcade is carried on piers with a diamond cross-section. The nave has a hammerbeam roof, and the chancel a wagon roof. In the chancel is a turquoise mosaic floor. The glass in the windows is clear, other than a stained glass window by Heaton, Butler and Bayne dated 1912, and one by W. J. Pearce dated 1916.

The church was built in 1845 by the Sheffield architect Joseph Mitchell. It was consecrated on 19 June 1845 Further additions were made in 1880 and 1885 to 1886. The changes in 1885 included the re-enlargement of the chancel, extending it by 27ft in length. The floor of the chancel was laid with encaustic tiles by Maw and Son of Bentall, Staffordshire.

St Ann's is built of ashlar and rubble stone with slate roofs. It is made up of a five-bay nave, chancel, north and south chapels, south porch and vestry. The west side contains a two- stage bell-turret. Above the chancel arch are the Royal Arms of William IV. In the south porch is the church's original 13th-century font.

Howell's death in 1901, approximately £700 had been raised towards an extension of the church. In 1906, his successor, Rev. Canon Gildea, sought the expertise of Messrs Crickmay and Sons of Weymouth on the existing chancel, which was found to be dilapidated and unstable. Plans were drawn up by the architects for a new chancel, along with the desired vestry and organ chamber.

The east wall of the chancel is panelled with wood taken from a box pew of 1680. The stained glass includes a north window by Ward and Hughes dated 1896, and a window in the chancel by Meyer of Munich. In the west window is glass dating from the 16th century. The church contains a number of monuments, and a hatchment of 1870.

The church is built in red sandstone and calciferous sandstone. The nave has a roof of green slate, while the chancel is roofed with sandstone slates. At the west end is an open double bellcote. The plan of the church consists of a three bay nave with a north porch, and a two-bay chancel with a north organ chamber and vestry.

This is supported by metal posts and is accessed via a spiral cast-iron stair. Fluorescent lights are fixed to the underside of the hammerbeams. A carved and painted timber screen surrounds the side chapel, and plaster mouldings feature around windows and above the arch to the chancel. The floors are of timber, with the sanctuary and chancel raised above the nave.

The church dates from the 14th century, but with the exception of the chancel, was very heavily rebuilt in 1863 by the architects Giles and Brookhouse of Derby. The tower and spire was raised to , higher than the one it replaced. The east window was filled with stained glass by Hardman & Co. of Birmingham. The chancel floor was laid with Minton encaustic tiles.

The chancel exhibits pilaster strip work, much disturbed and cut by Early English period windows, and has a close parallel at Bradford-on-Avon. The wall thickness of the chancel is 2 ft 8in, which is a typical Anglo-Saxon dimension. The church, with its Anglo-Saxon features, is of major importance to our understanding of the larger minsters in pre-conquest England.

There are two brackets at different levels on the north side of the aisle's east window with carvings of a female head. South of the window, there is a plain bracket. These three brackets probably all belong to the chantry. ;Chancel There is no doubt that Dunstanburgh Castle formed a quarry for stones with which an earlier chancel was built.

St Laurence's is a mediaeval parish church in the Diocese of Durham. It is dedicated to Saint Lawrence. The present building dates from around 1100, and is known for its 12th century north arcade and wall-paintings. In a Victorian restoration by Ignatius Bonomi in 1846-7, the chancel was extended, and the aisle walls, porch and chancel were rebuilt.

One side portal and the Brautportal, the main entrance to the Marienkirche. Buttresses (along with flying buttresses) and balustrades characterise the image of the chancel. The exterior of the chancel underlies a bisection emerging from the ambulatory and the clerestory. The buttress of the Marienkirche in Osnabrück is given a very vivid design by the pinnacles as well as the neo-Gothic balustrades.

Simultaneously the low apertures to the ambulatory emphasise the smallness of the hall. The chancel vault is adorned with the crest of Bishop Erich von Hoya and other heraldic panels. The continuation of the breadth of the nave into the chancel along with the clerestory over the arches – only separated by a narrow triforium – give the impression of a spacious and bright hall.

In the chancel is a trefoil-headed piscina and a tomb recess. On each side of the east window is a bracket for an image. Also in the chancel is a marble memorial to Anthony Furtho, who died in 1558, and his two wives, and a monument to Edmund Arnold dated 1676. The octagonal font is small and dates from the 17th century.

It was created to celebrate the year 2000 Gutenberg celebrations of Mainz by sculptor Karl Heinz Oswald. The iron sculpture displays the Gutenberg printing press. Gutenberg used for printing a wooden press, reminiscent of construction, mechanics and operation of a wine press. The windows in the chancel and the glass wall in the chancel were designed by Alois Plum. p. 11.

At the eastern end of the church is the chancel. This was reconstructed in 1896, with a new east window being installed and the whole faced with ashlar. The 1795 drawing shows some herringbone brickwork, indicating that the original chancel dates from the 11th century. The south aisle, which dates from the early 14th-century extension, is also dressed with knapped flint.

This dates from about 1300 and is possibly the oldest in Sussex. Set in the north- east corner of the chancel is the remains of an 11th-century gravestone which was discovered in the foundations of the chancel north wall during the 1896 re-building. It is wide and tall. On its face is a Y-shaped cross within a rectangular border.

The oldest part of the church is the north door which is Norman. The chancel and the base of the tower are from the 14th century. The church underwent Victorian restoration in 1878 when the coat of arms of Queen Victoria was added to the chancel arch wall. The parish is part of Exmoor benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.

Gloslunde Church Built of red brick but now whitewashed, the church consists of a Romanesque chancel and nave and a Gothic porch and sacristy. A 14th-century timber bell tower stands close to the church's northwest corner. There are two small Romanesque windows on the chancel gable, now both bricked up. The east gable is also decorated with a round-arch frieze.

It was designed by Thomas Lee and built of local yellow stone with slate and tile roofs. The church was enlarged in 1837 to add north and south porches. It was refitted in 1849 with the addition of a chancel. The chancel was rebuilt and an organ was added in 1899 and in 1930, the top section of the tower was rebuilt.

It has a double plinth course, gargoyles, parapets, coped gables, and angled buttresses. Each buttress had an east window of five-light panes; the north and south sections had three-light windows. The chancel was built with a moulded king post truss roof and many rosettes, angels and other carvings. The wide panelled chancel arch has a well preserved Devon-style timber screen.

This overhanging shingled bell-turret sits on top of the tiled roof. St George's Church has a nave with no aisles, a narrower chancel and a bell- turret at the west end of the roof. There is a vestry on the north side. Most walls are roughcast covering flint rubble; the chancel is mostly of uncovered flint with some herringbone brickwork.

The church was enlarged around 1180 when the apses were demolished and the chancel extended. The priory was dissolved around 1440, and it became a parish church. It was further altered in the 15th century, the nave was extensively restored 1824 by Richard Carver and the chancel rebuilt between 1863 and 1865 by John Norton. The interior contains two Norman fonts.

Construction began in earnest in December 1969. The old chancel was stripped and demolished and new columns began to rise from the debris. Construction and clearing up finished on Saturday 24 July 1971, and the Cathedral reopened the next day. The new chancel was modernist, as high as the existing vault, with tall windows reaching from the floor almost to the ceiling.

The round chancel arch has rope-shaped corbels while the chancel ceiling was vaulted in the Gothic period. The Auricular Baroque altarpiece is from c. 1700 with a painting of the Last Supper and the arms of Eggert Christopher Knuth and Sister Lerche. The pulpit, in the High Renaissance style, is from 1617 and bears the arms of Knud Urne and Merete Grubbe.

The parish church of Saint Mary has a nave built in the perpendicular style which is illuminated with transomed windows. There is a canonical sundial on the south wall. The chancel and west tower are in the decorated style. The chancel has a large Decorated five-light window with reticulated tracery, and there is an elaborately moulded tower arch on the west tower.

A church was recorded in the village in the 12th century. The oldest part of the present flint building, dedicated to St Mary, is the chancel dating from the 13th century. The chancel arch and three-bay nave date from the 14th century. The church formerly had a round west tower, the oldest part of the church until it fell in 1855.

By 1898 the nave had been completed, and this was consecrated on 27 April 1898 by the Bishop of Southwell, Rt. Revd. George Ridding. The south aisle was added in 1905, and the chancel a few years later. The chancel was built by the contractor H. Chattle of Empress Road, Derby, with the oak work by Mattyn and Company of Cheltenham.

Inside the south wall of the nave are the arches of a two-bay arcade of an aisle that has been removed. The south wall of the chancel contains an ogee-headed piscina, and a small aumbry. The chancel roof dates from 1852, and the nave roof is medieval. The altar rail dates from the 17th century, and incorporates turned balusters.

The pre-restoration painting shows also a flat ceiling in the nave. There was a similar ceiling in the chancel. Bickmore's restoration removed these ceilings. South side of what is now the Lady chapel, built in 1864 The chancel was extended eastward and a two-bay aisle was added to its south side, originally to increase seating for the congregation in main services.

The nave of the brick Gothic church was originally long and wide. There were five lancet windows on each side. The west end had five narrow stained glass windows, which has been described as a "pentaphlet," and an art glass circular window depicting the Holy Trinity. The chancel had a triplet window in the chancel depicting Christ, St. John, and St. Peter.

St Mary's is constructed in flint and stone, and the tower is in brick. The chancel arch and the north and south doorways survive from the original building, and are in Norman style. The chancel arch is decorated with zigzag and ball flower carving. The doorways are similar and each has three orders of columns with scalloped capitals and saltire decoration.

They were painted by Tomáz do Carmo in Lisbon in 1855. Similar panels of azulejos were ordered from Portugal in the same decade to decorate the sacristy, but were never installed. The nave and sacristy have plain azulejos. Between 1816 and 1817 Antônio de Santa Rosa carved the ceiling of the chancel, its tribunes, the chancel arch, and two side altars.

Inside the church are three-bay arcades in Transitional style, with circular piers, and capitals carved with volutes, foliage, and rams' heads. The two-bay arcade between the chancel and chapel is carried on octagonal piers. The nave, chancel, and chapel each has a double-hammerbeam roof. In the north wall of the nave is a re-set early Norman tympanum.

The earliest parts of the tower, nave, and chancel date from before the Norman conquest (IE pre-1066). In circa 1160/1170, the chancel was rebuilt and a third stage was added to the tower. A vestry was added in the 13th-century. The chantry chapel, originally dating to the 13th-century, was extended in the 14th-century to form the south aisle.

Other features include mosaics, stencilled decoration, gargoyles, carved marble and alabaster. Above the chancel is a vaulted ceiling decorated with paintings of angels. On either side of the chancel the organ with some 3,040 pipes can be seen. Built by William Hill & Sons, the organ is one of only a few of its kind in Britain which has not been modified.

Pevsner describes the chancel recess as 13th-century, with English Heritage noting it as 14th. Within the chancel is an aumbry, and a double-niche sedilia or Easter Sepulchre, both 14th-century. A further aumbry, and a piscina, are part of the early 13th-century south chapel. The 15th-century font is octagonal, and of Perpendicular style with quatrefoils and shields.

The chancel has one bay, over which is the tower. To the east of the chancel is an apsidal sanctuary and to the north is a vestry. The west façade has two lancet windows with a round window above. The bays are separated by buttresses, each bay containing two round-arched windows in the aisles and two round windows in the clerestory.

The church is constructed in sandstone. It has Lakeland slate roofs, with a stone ridge and copings to the gables. Its plan consists of a three-bay nave with a north transept and north-west vestry, a chancel, and a west tower. The nave measures by , the chancel by , the transept by , and the interior of the tower is square.

A line of holes in the gable suggest there was originally a gallery at this end. The east end of the 1674 church formed a laird's aisle, erected on the site of the 13th- century chancel. The laird's aisle and the nave are separated by an arch that may have copied (or perhaps even reused parts of) the earlier chancel arch.

The south arcade has four bays carried on octagonal piers with moulded capitals. On the north and south walls is a cornice carved with a frieze containing a variety of motifs. There is a trefoil-headed piscina in the south wall of the aisle, and another in the south wall of the chancel. Also in the chancel is a double aumbry.

The church is constructed in stone rubble with sandstone ashlar dressings. The roof is in Welsh slate, with lead on the chancel and the north porch. A number of carved Saxon stones are built into the walls. Its plan consists of a nave, with north and south aisles and north and south porches, a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower.

The Church of St. Michael has a nave, chancel, south chapel and south porch which dates from around 1200. The north chapel was added in 1325, and a further chapel to the north of the chancel and the west tower being added in 1480. It underwent restoration in the late 19th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

The plan of the church is simple consisting of a three-bay nave and a narrower lower chancel with a vestry to its north. In the west wall is an inset porch. The timber framing of the chancel is now infilled with brick which has replaced the original wattle and daub. Its north and south walls feature close studding with no middle rail.

The church is constructed in sandstone, and the chancel and north wall have been rendered. The roof is tiled. The plan of the church is simple, consisting of a nave, a chancel with a north vestry, and a relatively large but short tower, through which the church is entered. The tower is in a single stage, and stands on a moulded plinth.

Pulpit in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna He was probably trained in Vienna, and following that, in 1481, he was invited to Heilbronn. His earliest work was a chancel at the St Kilian Church in Heilbronn. However, research by Kaliopi Chamonikola, 2004, disputes the attribution of the design of the chancel to Pilgram. He created his early architectural works mainly in Swabia, Germany.

The plan consists of a three-bay nave with a south porch, a north aisle, a chancel, a north vestry, and a west tower with a stair turret on the southeast. In the chancel are a 14th-century piscina and a triple sedilia. The octagonal pulpit dates from about 1906.

Webster's nave and tower bases are constructed in limestone and are in Early English style with thin lancet windows and buttresses. The chancel added by Austin and Paley is in sandstone, its style being Decorated. Inside the church, the wooden pulpit stands on columns of Peterhead granite, and the lectern is in the form of an eagle. The furnishings in the chancel are by Austin and Paley.

The north aisle was completed in 1965 due to a lack of funds previously. The aisles have low three-light windows. The chancel is slightly narrower than the nave and has three-bay arcades and a waggon roof with carved corbel bosses at the east end. There is an elaborate wooden chancel screen with grille; the octagonal baptismal font with fleuron decoration dates to 1916.

St Helen's is constructed in sandstone rubble, with a stone slate roof. Its plan consists of a nave, a wider chancel, and a north transept containing the organ and a vestry. At the west end is a bellcote, beneath which is a plain two-light window. There are similar windows on the north and south sides of the nave and on the south wall of the chancel.

Also in the south wall is an external tomb recess containing a tomb-slab carved with a cross. The south organ chamber has a west doorway. The three-light east window of the chancel contains 19th-century tracery in Perpendicular style. The north wall of the chancel contains a Norman-style window, and there is another Norman window in the north wall of the nave.

Gregg, p. 53 The chancel, according to Hall, contains "artistic work of a kind seldom seen anywhere". The raised tiled floor of the chancel curves outward into the body of the church, and is approached by seven marble steps. The sanctuary is raised further, and enclosed by a marble altar rail behind which is an altar carved from white Carrara marble by L.M. Avenali.

In 1903–04 the architect George Frederick Bodley replaced the chancel with a new chancel, two chapels (Chapel of All Souls and Chapel of All Saints) and a vestry in a Neo-Gothic style. The tower was faced with flint and stone to match the east end. The north and south galleries were removed at this time. The west gallery was removed in 1935–36.

Stieglitz, p.23 After his death in 1869 a memorial at the church was proposed. The memorial chosen was a chancel, which the original church lacked. Funds were raised by a Government backed appeal, including a donation from Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh. The chancel was started in 1871, using bluestone from the same quarry as the church, and was finished in August of the same year.

Nearby is the former stable of the Rector, who sometimes lived at Wood Dalling. The church lacks a chancel, this having been demolished early in the 18th century. The east window has cross- linked tracery, clearly used to fill the arch of the lost chancel, and the east end of the north aisle has an unusual rectangular window.Knott, Simon, St Andrew, Thurning dated July 2006 at norfolkchurches.co.uk.

The pinnacles, faced with gable and finial devices, are crocketed with grotesques. Further pinnacles are placed at the west corner and centre of the south chapel. The chancel and north chapel east wall is supported by three-step buttresses--two defining the edge of the chancel, and one at the north chapel corner which is diagonal. A two-step angled buttress supports the south chapel east corner.

To the right of the porch are two- light Decorated windows, and a two-light mullioned window. On the north side are two-light straight-headed windows. The east window of the chancel has three lights. On the south side of the chancel are a lancet window, and a two- light Decorated window, and on the north side is a two-light Perpendicular window.

The Chapel of Our Lady of Help is notable in Bahia for the simplicity of its design and proportions. It consists of a nave, chancel, sacristy, porch, and bell tower. The church has a simple, central portal of wood with a window on either side. The church roof is of two types: a gable roof over the nave and a cupola of tiled brick over the chancel.

The north arm of the transept known as Arild's Chapel was probably added at the beginning of the 16th century, while the south arm or Mölle Chapel was completed in 1752. In 1752, the porch was replaced by the other arm of the transept. In 1912, Theodor Wåhlin redesigned the transept. A new chancel was added, and the old chancel was converted into a sacristy.

St Bede's is built in red sandstone with a slate roof. Its plan consists of a west tower, a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a chancel and a south porch. The tower has angle buttresses and gargoyles, and is crenellated. The windows in the nave are paired lancets, those in the clerestory have trefoil heads, and the tracery in the chancel windows is curvilinear.

The chancel has a dome-shaped vault with semicircular ribs on dwarf columns. The chancel arch is pointed while the nave has a humped vault with clover-shaped ribs and webbing. The present vault has possibly been supported by additional masonry after a fall as evidence of a higher vault has been found. The recently restored altarpiece is the work of Jørgen Ringnis (1653).

The chancel's east window dates to the late 14th century. Internal fittings of note include a stone altar of early 13th century origin, which sits on a base of Purbeck Marble. In the chancel are two 15th century moulded stone corbels, as well as a piscina dating to the 13th century but since restored. The chancel floor has eighteen re-set tiles of medieval origin.

Holy Cross is constructed in stone of differing colours, and has red tile roofs. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a three-bay chancel, a north porch, and a west tower. The nave measures by , the chancel by , the north aisle by , and the south aisle by . The tower is in three stages separated by string courses.

The south nave wall is of three bays, with a buttress between the nave and the chancel. The windows date from the restoration of 1862. At the left of the south aspect is a Norman doorway with jambs in three orders, the outer order having a chevron design and the middle one ropework. The north aisle has two bays to the chancel and three to the nave.

Some features of the church that were repaired are; the chancel, nave, south aisle and chancel arch. The most recent restoration occurred in 1935, when the spire was struck by lightning. According to the 2011 census data, 67.8% of the Winwick residents classed themselves as a Christian, which is higher than the England percentage of 59.4%, and 24.3% classed themselves as having no religion.

The parish church of St Lawrence consists of a chancel with modern north vestry, nave, north aisle, south chapel, west tower, and south porch. There was a church on the site by 1086, but the present church dates from the 13th century when the chancel and nave were completed. The tower was added in the 16th century. The original 13th-century font is still present.

All Saints Church was built around 1250 at Leigh, north Wiltshire, England, and was originally on a site half a mile to the north of its current location. In 1896, the nave, porch and bell tower were moved from their original location and a new church was built. The chancel and the east gable of the old nave remain in the old churchyard as All Saints Chancel.

The new plans added two new bays to the nave and aisles, a new chancel, two transepts, chapels, two additional confessionals, sacristies, and a room for meetings. An entrance was to be provided from St. George's Road to the south transept by a porch. The nave was to be divided from the chancel by an arch. The estimated cost of the extension was about £8,000.

The roofs are all modern, those of the nave and aisles being leaded and the chancel roof tiled. The parapets throughout are plain. The ground falls rapidly from west to east and the chancel stands high above the level of the churchyard: on the north side there are two steps down to the porch and five from the porch to the floor of the church.

The chancel has an east window of two lights with a circle in the head, originally c. 1250, and there are single lancets in the north and south walls. The vestry is of brick and is five steps below the chancel level. The 13th-century arch to the nave is of two chamfered orders, the inner one resting on moulded corbels supported by grotesque heads.

St Mary's church probably dates to the 13th century, and is set within an oval churchyard. Today, it is ruinous and consists of stone walls, mostly stone rubble, nave with south porch and north vestry, chancel and a tower. St Mary's was restored c. 1885 by John Prichard, the Llandaff diocesan architect, who rebuilt the chancel, while the vestry was added in c. 1920.

There were alterations in the eighteenth century, and the chancel was rebuilt in 1889. In the chancel is a Norman grave-cover that is the best of its kind in the county. Its shape and tile decoration symbolise a house of the dead. There are a number of incised grave covers in the porch, and a Roman altar that has been carved with Saxon knot-work.

Inside the church is a west gallery carried on a four- bay arcade with slender columns. On the sides of the chancel are two large niches, each with a crocketed gable containing a statue by Thomas Duckett. The statue on the left depicts Ecce Homo, and that on the right Saint George. The chancel rail is in cast iron and contains panels with pierced trefoil heads.

The instrument has 78 ranks, 66 stops and 4,648 pipes, all played from a 3-manual console in the chancel. In 1949, Harrison made revisions to the chancel organ (some of which have subsequently been reversed), and in 1979, two Aeolian-Skinner stops from Opus 851 were added to the nave organ: Tuba and Vox Humana, the latter having been prepared-for in 1935.

The chancel (the former crossing) was divided into two storeys, and the south transept was converted to form the rest of the house. Meanwhile, the nave, north aisle and north porch continued to be used as the parish church. In the 17th century the house was damaged by fire, and Foxe's descendants moved away. The chancel was restored and incorporated into the parish church.

The spire is octagonal and covered with wooden shingles with a weather vane. The nave, chancel and the transepts are buttressed externally at each side of the gable ends. The north and south facades of the nave feature pairs of round arched windows. The north and south windows to the transepts and the east window of the chancel are pointed arched 19th century and three-lighted.
