St Andrew’s Church is an Anglican church and the parish church of Old, Northamptonshire. It is a Grade I listed building and stands at Church Lane, on the south side of the village. There is no reference to a church or priest in the entry for the parish in the Domesday Book, which was complied in 1086. This may indicate the absence of a church building at that stage or, alternatively, only the absence of a resident priest. Most of the current church building was erected in the 13th and 14th centuries and is constructed of square coursed lias with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. There is a chancel, a clerestoried nave of four bays with a south aisle, north porch and west tower. The chancel arch is of 15th-century construction, when it appears that significant further work was carried out such as the addition of the clerestory and porch as well as widening of the aisle. A monument whose Latin inscription commemorates Alexander Ibbs, a rector of the parish who died in 1606, is set in the north wall of the chancel. The church was extensively restored in 1874-5. Alterations at that time included the creation of a vestry and an organ chamber, both leading from the chancel, provision of a barrel roof to the chancel, a new roof to the aisle, removal of a west gallery and alterations to some of the windows. The parish registers survive from 1559, the historic registers being deposited at Northamptonshire Record Office. Old is part of a united benefice which also includes the parishes of Hannington, Scaldwell and Walgrave with each village retaining its own church. ==Photo gallery== Image:Church tower of St Andrew, Old, Northamptonshire.jpg|Church tower Image:Old02.JPG|Monument to Alexander Ibbs, 1606 Image:Old03.JPG|Chancel Image:Old04.JPG|Nave looking south-west Image:Old05.JPG|Nave looking west 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「St Andrew's Church, Old, Northamptonshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
