Holy Cross Church, Binstead is a parish church in the Church of England located in Binstead, Isle of Wight. ==History== The 11th〔(National Heritage List for England , grade II listed building )〕 and 13th century church〔''The Buildings of England'', ''Hampshire and the Isle of Wight''. Nikolaus Pevsner〕 is located between the village and the coast. Its location some distance from the modern centre of Binstead probably indicates a medieval village associated with the quarries in the church's vicinity. Most part of the chancel is of herringbone masonry. The original nave was replaced in 1844 and enlarged in 1875 by the addition of the north aisle. The bellcote dates from 1925 and contains a pre-reformation bell believed to have come from the original, now ruined, Cistercian abbey at Quarr. On 7 June 1969, the church was seriously damaged by fire. It was restored and rededicated in February 1971.〔The Church of the Holy Cross. Pamphlet published by Lightbowns, Ryde. 1971〕 Outside a Sheela Na Gig,〔http://www.sheelanagig.org/#SheelaBinstead.htm〕 locally known as the 'Saxon Idol', is carved on a stone gateway to the churchyard which contains several old and interesting burials. Possible the best known is that of Thomas Sivell who was mistaken for a smuggler by customs officers and shot. His gravestone, with long s replaced with short s where appropriate, reads:
In more recent times Nicholas Dingley, known as Razzle, the drummer of Hanoi Rocks was buried here. 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「Holy Cross Church, Binstead」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
