Terrington St. Clement's church
Image: © Adrian S Pye Taken: 7 Feb 2015
Dating from the 12th c. in part and commonly known as The Cathedral of the Marshes and justifiably so. The 15th c. tower is completely detached from the church which is 167 ft (51 metres) in length, taking almost 5 minutes to walk around. Inside the 15th c. font and its tall 16th c. tabernacled cover catch the eye and inside is a painting of the Baptism of Jesus and two scenes from The Temptation. Above the chancel arch are seven image niches. In the sanctuary the floor has been raised to such an extent by the Bentinck vault beneath that the piscina and sedilia have been rendered unusable. Monuments of great age and interest adorn the walls along with huge 17th c. Decalogue and Commandment boards. Most of the furnishings are Victorian as are the roofs. A good set of Royal Arms are those of Queen Anne.
