The Church of St. Mary & St. Nicholas, Leatherhead, is an Anglican parish church. Dating originally to around the 11th Century,〔 〕 it remains a place of worship to this day. == Architecture == The body of the church mostly dates to the early 13th century (Nikolaus Pevsner dating the nave to c. 1210): the nave arcades are typical of the French late-Transitional style then sweeping south-east England. The tower was built in the late 15th century: its large-scale angle buttresses, flattened perpendicular arches and windows (with their cinquepartite cusping) and carved spandrels above the West Door mark it out from the rest of the building, as (with the exception of the south transept window) all other perpendicular details are small and simple, without any of the splendour of those on the tower. Many of them were heavily restored in the 19th century by Arthur Blomfield, having been plastered over in the 17th century - some of this plaster can still be seen on the South wall of the South aisle. The stained glass windows in the church date back to the mid 19th century. 〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Church of St. Mary & St. Nicholas, Leatherhead」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
