Selston Nottinghamshire

Looking north west across the 12c nave from the south aisle.

The north arcade of 4 semi-circular arches dating probably from the late 12c has interesting waterleaf and gargoyle capitals. The south arcade is slightly later 13c, more Transitional in style with plain moulded capitals but still with round columns and round arches. The columns of the two arcades are not aligned with each other across the nave. Above the arcades are a series of grotesque corbels which would have supported the earlier roof beams.

The north aisle was rebuilt in the 1905 restoration.
