West Window, Martley
The west window by Thomas Denny, installed for the Millennium in 2000.
The church of St Peter at Martley is one of the most rewarding in Worcestershire. Dating back to Norman times, the aisleless building we see today was largely remodelled in the 14th century with the west tower added a century later.The stonework throughout is of an attractive rusty-red hue.
Inside the old timber ceiling draws the eye, creating a tunnel-like effect since there is little structural division between nave and chancel. The chancel contains substantial areas of 14th century red-line wall painting, giving an unusually complete impression of the original medieval decoration.
At the west end is the stunning Millennium windoy by Tom Denny, a rich display of subtle imagery in shades of gold.
