It's exactly midnight on the clock tower. You can clearly see the time reflected on the black marble www.flickr.com/photos/35535885@N03/14514678195/sizes/o/ lower right. I stand inside the court building. Lights are off in the oculus. Across the street the statue of Columbia looks like a saint trying to exorcise the Romanesque Gothic horror building she stand upon.

Oculus, Stoke Edith by Aidan McRae Thomson

Stoke Edith church is something quite special, an unusual mix of the tower and spire of the 14th century building and the main body a mid 18th century replacement. The spire is a landmark (visible to me on numerous journeys to the area by rail) made all the more distinctive by its truncated top, giving it the appearance of a huge obelisk arising from the medieval tower. The village itself is tiny and consists of a few houses around the road leading up to the church, which nestles semi-hidden within a secluded leafy enclosure of its own.

On approaching all the visitor sees is the medieval steeple standing proud over the trees, and could be forgiven for thinking another complete medieval church lies in wait. Only at the churchyard does one see that the nave has been rebuilt in Georgian Baroque, replaced by the local Foley family in 1740. This is a fairly compact churchyard and the building likewise isn't particularly long, the shallow chancel being more or less continuous with the nave.

Entry is via the south door and reveals a delightfully light interior, the cream-washed nave with its flat plaster ceiling leading to a shallow chancel area, separated by a pair of columns and defined by its lower lighting, decorative paintwork and Foley monuments, giving it the feel of a family mausoleum. The east window has Victorian glass which makes this space rather gloomy for the sake of adding a bit of colour. At the west end however is a relic of the medieval church, the alabaster effigy of a 15th century noblewoman lying next to the font (itself an oddly precarious-looking thing with a marble bowl and a later wrought iron stem).

This is a very handsome and memorable building, thus I was keen to revisit in 2021 to upgrade my photos (from two previous visits in 2010 with my old camera and sans tripod, thus requiring some improvement). I was disappointed to find it locked this time with a notice on the door suggesting this was because of Covid measures (not the first incident of this I'd encountered that day in this normally visitor friendly area). So sadly I had to forget about new internal shots and hope for better luck another time.

However I have since seen several online articles bemoaning the poor state of the church and suggesting it had been closed for safety. It looked in reasonable order to me back in 2010 aside from some water ingress in the chancel area that was affecting the paintwork, but that was over a decade ago so the situation may have worsened considerably since.

Earlier this year it was announced that the church is to formally close for worship and be sold to the Foley family as their private chapel and mausoleum. This is good news in that it secures the building's future, though the implications are sadly that visitor access will be extremely limited in future. I am thus all the more frustrated that I was unable to get back inside one last time on my most recent visit, so will have to make do with my old photos of the interior.
