The #CanningtonChurchInterior tour. Part VI of VI: from centre of tower arch. Were the C14 nave and chancel accidentally built slightly off east-west? Is that why the C15 nave is at an angle to the C14 tower? Oh for a compass! #StMaryCannington #Somerset #StonemasonryMonday

The #CanningtonChurchInterior tour. Part V of VI: from west tower. The way in which the nave angles away to the south with respect to the tower is perhaps most evident from this perspective. You can also see extensive arch repairs #StMaryCannington #Somerset #StonemasonryMonday

The #CanningtonChurchInterior tour. Part IV of VI: The fabulous C14 wave moulded pointed tower arch frames a perfectly illuminated west window. The creasing of the original nave roof is clearly visible #StMaryCannington #Somerset #StonemasonryMonday

The #CanningtonChurchInterior tour. Part III of VI: Equidistant between the arcades it becomes apparent that the C15 nave has been built at a slight angle to the C14 tower. The #GhostRoof shows how low the original nave was. #StMaryCannington #Somerset #MemorialMonday

The #CanningtonChurchInterior tour. Part II of VI: The north and south aisles are very narrow, perhas to further accentuate the feeling of height. They clasp both tower and chancel. The stair turret bears a single memorial tablet #StMaryCannington #Somerset #MemorialMonday

The #CanningtonChurchInterior tour. Part I of VI: Nave and chancel are the same height divided only by the rood screen. It is noticeable that the nave is very narrow for the immense height. The arcade arches are strikingly elegant #StMaryCannington #Somerset
