Tredington's church of St Gregory is one of the most impressive in south Warwickshire, a beautifully hued 14th century building dominated by a graceful spire (crowning an already tall tower) at the west end.
Within the earlier history of the church is more apparent, with substantial remains of blocked Saxon windows embedded in the masonry immediately above the nave arcades, showing how these were cut through the ancient walling in the late 12th / early 13th century, retaining parts of the previous clerestory in the process (which then would have been hidden plaster and murals throughout the rest of the medieval period).
There is much ancient woodwork, most of the benches are medieval with decorative panelling, as is the former rood screen. The are also some interesting brasses and a fine Jacobean pulpit. The Victorian restoration was fortunately much more restrained here, the only obvious addition of this time being the glass in the chancel.
Tredington church is one of the most rewarding in the area, and happily normally open and welcoming to visitors.
Columnar joints high on a cliff near the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. Note how the smaller columns suddenly become larger in the upper part. Is this a scale changing transition?
