St Mary's Church, Egmanton

Egmanton
England

The Church dedicated to St. Mary, was built initially in the early Norman period. A restoration was carried out c 1880's at the expense chiefly of the Duke of Newcastle, who rebuilt the chancel, and partly at that of the parishioners, who rebuilt the nave and aisle. The south door is of very plain Norman character, having an arched head of two orders, devoid of mouldings. Immediately inside is a good specimen of an old oak poor-box, beyond which is a stone font of a tapering cone shape, without ornament, corresponding in date to the doorway, probably dated at not later than 1075-1100. St Mary's has a 15th century west tower and a 12th century north arcade.
