Our Lady Ile
Our Lady Ile

The Perpendicular Period

 

If you now return to the interior of the Church we come to the last phase of its actual construction. 

The light filled south aisle, now known as the Yarty aisle, and formerly as ‘Our Lady Ile', is characteristic of this phase of English Gothic architecture.   Typical are the square-topped windows of three lights each with four cusps, the rich colour of the Hamstone used for the windows.

The aisle is crowned with an oak roof of high quality and beautiful colour.  

The octagonal font, again of the Perpendicular period is to the west of the entrance door, and with Tudor roses decorating the panels.
