Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: St Giles Bredon's Norton. The church was originally built around 1150-1175 as a chapel of ease (chapelry) to the Church of St Giles at Bredon (318613). The tower and chancel arch were added in the 13th century. The church was in a poor state of repair by 1877 and the chancel and nave were totally rebuilt by Preedy using the same stone, completed in 1883.
Original Norman features can still be seen, particularly in the arch around the entrance porch on the south side (moved from the north side of the church during restoration). The church has a fine set of six bells, five from 1738 by Abel Rudhall of Gloucester and a new 1885 treble bell from Mears of Southbank London as part of the restoration. Mears also re-hung the bells on modern bearings in 1964. The tower also houses a fine clock by Smiths of Derby, which is hand wound twice a week. |
