Barton Leys

Barton Bendish St. Mary's church The church had a tower which fell in 1421 and lasted until 1710. An attractive crocketted ogee hood-mould over the chancel door. The west Norman door has unusual banding around the columns of the jamb, the inner columns are an unusual bobbin design, with four orders of decoration above. It was salvaged from All Saints when it was demolished. Inside next to the south door is a painting of a wheel with a figure of Catherine, beneath her, a coffin on a bier. On the end of one of the Carolean benches is carved 1637; only slightly later that the Holy table which has ‘EL 1633’ carved on the front. High on the east wall hang two worm-eaten angels seemingly from the screen. A dropped-sill sedilia with quatrefoil decoration below. The piscina may be below floor level if it was similar to the one at Barton Bendish St Andrew’s.
