From nave to south arcade #StMaryPortbury #NorthSomerset

The double chamfered pointed arches of the aisles with their freestone relieving arches are truly beautiful. Left, framing the top of C13 #Sedilia and #Piscina with early C15 3-light window above

Restored C13 #Piscina, attached to a #Sedilia. The bowl and credence shelf having been smashed, probably in this case during the English Reformation. Beautifully carved chamfered trefoil with nook shafts and moulded capitals #StMaryPortbury #NorthSomerset #StonemasonryMonday

One of the carvings to the roll moulded label above the chancel #Sedilia. The faces look authentic and add to the supposition that the sedilia and piscina arrangement are C13 #FridaysFacesInStone #StMaryPortbury #NorthSomerset

Stunning #Sedilia and #ChurchPiscina combo south of the chancel #StMaryPortbury #NorthSomerset. The trefoil heads, shafts and capitals look C13 (probably the age of the chancel), but curiously it sits under a seemingly curtailed Decorated-period window. Robbed from elsewhere perhaps?
