Censing Angel
The real treasure of Nether Whitacre church is this superb early 14th century kneeling angel using a censer, situated in the tracery of the south chancel window.
It appears to be in reasonably good condition and has an especially fine head.
It is possibly a composite of two mirror image tracery figures from the old church since parts of the present figure (notably his lower half) appear to be painted on the outer face, suggesting they had been reversed at some stage.
