Everton Sluice Lane, DONCASTER, DN10 5AW

The north-east corner of the nave contrasting the Decorated 14th century aisle arcade with the 11th century Norman chancel arch.

Everton is a very attractive notts village.

Probably not built as such, but old maps give no clue as to its original purpose.

Looking west from the chancel, showing the Norman tower arch.

"The chancel arch, 9ft. wide, is semi-circular, in two orders, having a plain square-edged inner order and soffit, an outer order of massive chevron mouldings and a hood-moulding to correspond with the tower arch. The capitals of the detached columns in the angle of the jambs are of the cushion type, with scale ornamentation very lightly scratched on the surface. At the time when the north aisle was added, a hagioscope was made in the pier beside the chancel arch." - By Mr Harry Gill "Transactions of the Thoroton Society", 13 (1909)

The fine Norman chancel arch, with a view through to the 19th century apse beyond.

The nave, showing the rather irregular fenestration of the south wall.

The 19th century font in Norman style. A careful examination of the remaining section of the original Norman font, to the right, shows that it is considerably shorter than the equivalent section of the replacement, with shorter columns and shallower arches below the columns. The modern version also has fewer columns than the original, and the relationship between the columns and the arches below is different - on the modern version there is one arch to each column, but there is no correlation on the original.
