St Mary Churchyard
Kington, Herefordshire Unitary Authority, Herefordshire, England
The nave is early 13th century, while the chancel was added later in that same century, the chapel and south aisle a century later. The font is 12th century, in tub style, with rope moulding at the bas and zigzag carving around the rim. Set into the floor near the font is a peculiar baptismal tank, added in the 17th or 18th century to baptise people 'of riper years'.
The chancel is an Early English delight, with a trio of large lancets making up the east window and 6 smaller lancets in the north wall. The right-hand lancet is filled with glass by the famed Victorian firm of Clayton and Bell. The south wall is lit from a large 13th century window with attractive 'Y' tracery. The The arced in the nave is also Early English, while a chapel at the south end of the chancel is 14th century Decorated Gothic in style. By comparison, the north aisle is a 19th century addition. An external stair to the belfry is a Victorian addition. The tower is topped by a broach spire rising on a pair of truncated pyramidal steps, built in 1794 after an earlier spire was destroyed by lightning.
