10/29 Belfry approximately 5 m north-east of the 16.10.67 Church of St Mary
GV I
Detached belfry. Early C13 origins, reconstructed during C15 - C16 when ambulatory was added and internal structure altered and further remodelled during C17 with addition of the spire. Restorations of 1898, 1950 and 198:2-3. by Leonard Baart Associates. Timber-framed structure with later added sand- stone rubble wall to the lower stage, weatherboard cladding; lower hipped and and upper pyramidal roof covered with stone slates, shingle to spire. Square tower with later octagonal plan wall enclosing an ambulatory to the ground stage; entrance to south-west. Three diminishing,stages, final stage forming spire; clock faces to west and north and loop vents to three sides with a pair of similar openings to east side. Broad doorway with triple moulding to jambs and wooden lintel. Interior reveals timber-framed structure of tower; four massive corner posts survive from the earlier structure with mortices signify- ing the position of the former internal structure of the bracing. Present bracing probably dates from the C15 or C16 and has small horizontal and vertical members with diagonal struts. There are also further reinforcing braces that have been added at a later date and during periods of restoration. (RCHM, Vol III, p 161; BoE, p 267).
