Millenial Glass
Millenial glass at the west end of the south aisle at Steeple Barton.
The church of St Mary at Steeple Barton (an ironic name, since it no longer has a steeple) is a largely 14th century building that has experienced significant Victorian restoration (when the chancel was rebuilt and south aisle much restored).
It is chiefly remarkable for the arcade which separates the nave from the south aisle, which has three medieval sculpted capitals, not of the highest quality but hugely rewarding and full of character, with 14th century faces of people and animals staring out in each direction.
The church is generally kept open for the enjoyment of visitors.
