The parish church of Saint Peter at Church Knowle is mostly of
the first half of the 13th century. The nave, chancel and north
and south transpets date from this period. The west tower, and
probably the south porch, were added in the 14th century. The
tower was rebuilt in the 18th century and the north aisle was
added between 1833 and 1841.
Certainly the north transept, and probably the south, contained
chantries associated respectively with the lords of the manors of
Barnston and East Creech. Cross slab in the church dated to ca.1300. (2,3)
Parish Church of St Peter. Grade II*. (4,5)
Part of a recumbent cross-slab with sloping sides and debased foliate decoration is in the South transept of the church. This is clearly post-Conquest, and probably of ca. 1300. (6) |
