The Church of St John the Baptist, Barnack is a Church of England parish church in the village of Barnack, now in the Peterborough unitary authority of the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire, England. Barnack was part of the Soke of Peterborough, an historic area that was traditionally associated with Northamptonshire. Barnack is south-east of Stamford in Lincolnshire. The church is a Grade I listed building. The church, dedicated to John the Baptist, is noted in particular for its Anglo-Saxon tower to which was added a spire of circa 1200, possibly one of the earliest spires in England.〔(Barnack Church ) Hidden Heritage (retrieved 19 December 2009)〕 In the north aisle is a large Romanesque sculpture of a seated Christ in Majesty that was discovered under the floor in 1931. Estimates of the date of the Christ vary widely, from the latter part of the 10th century to circa 1200; the Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland settles on the late 12th century.〔(Corpus of Romanesque Sculpture in Britain and Ireland )〕 Simon Jenkins gives the church four stars in his ''England's Thousand Best Churches'' (1999) and highlights as features the tower, the stiff-leaf font and the Christ in Majesty. ==Gallery== File:St.John the Baptist's church, Barnack - geograph.org.uk - 204111.jpg|St John from the southeast showing the Lady Chapel File:A thousand years old - geograph.org.uk - 204116.jpg|The Anglo-Saxon tower File:Saxon doorway - geograph.org.uk - 204121.jpg|Anglo-Saxon south doorway in the tower File:Barnack Churchyard - geograph.org.uk - 204123.jpg|Gravestones in the Churchyard File:Barnack - geograph.org.uk - 204124.jpg|Distant view from the north 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 John the Baptist's Church, Barnack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
