St Peter's, Bourton on Dunsmore
Externally at least, St Peter's at Bourton on Dunsmore appears to be entirely Victorian (J.Potter 1842-50), certainly the south west steeple is clearly very much of this time, but more of the medieval building is apparent inside, which has more of a sense of antiquity than the exterior betrays.
There's a roughly finished medieval font, a two-decker pulpit from 1607 and a battered 13th century wimpled lady in the north transept, which seems to be a former Shuckburgh family mausoleum with hatchments and late Georgian and Victorian slabs and tablets, now largely hidden by a wilderness of display boards and general clutter.
There are two nice Victorian windows in the south aisle, by Heaton, Butler & Bayne and Kempe respectively.
St Peter's is another well used church kept open and welcoming to visitors.
