St Peter & St Paul: the parish church of Carbrooke

Apart from the late 13th century chancel, this church is mainly of the perpendicular period. It has a very tall tower that can be seen from miles around.

This church appears to straddle the 95 easting grid line. I hope that there is enough in square TF9502 for this photo to qualify as a Geograph!

The church tower seems to be clearly in square TF9402, though the eastern end of the church is in TF9502.

Sts Peter and Paul's church, Carbrooke

This is a grand 15th c. church: the north porch has a parvise and a south porch as well as a west doorway beneath the lofty tower which is worthy of close examination. A flushwork base course runs all the way around the building. A 14th c. ogee south doorway is also unusual to find. A five window clerestory casts plenty of light onto the arch-braced false hammerbeam nave roof with its angels and carved flowers at each intersection. The 14th c. octagonal font has geometric decoration. The benches all have charming animal carvings on their ends, some of which are renewed. The only piscina is in the chapel of the south aisle and the sedilia in the chancel seats only two. On the altar is a mediaeval stone mensa. Hanoverian Arms and an ancient parish chest are on display and more. All very interesting.

The octagonal upper stage to the otherwise square 14th c. tower makes this church easily recognisable. There is a scratch dial on the wall of the south aisle. Inside is a 13th c. arcade. The octagonal font has an exceptionally deep bowl but devoid of decoration, the cover is Jacobean as is the lovely pulpit complete with back-board and tester. On the opposite wall is a second pulpit, somewhat younger. A low side window is set below one of the 13th c. chancel windows. Some of the benches have early carvings. Behind the organ is what appears to be an Easter sepulchre with five holes in the sill, which are a mystery. All possibilities have been considered except that the sill, which, when moved, was reinstated upside down. Although the holes may be cressets for an everlasting flame, but that too is controversial.
