Interior of St Mary's Church, Lower Gravenhurst
Pevsner comments on the unusual absence of a chancel arch in this 14th-century church, and describes this as a "pleasantly unimproved interior" with particularly pleasant old flooring. The roof has thin tiebeams and kingposts, and the 15th-century screen retains traces of its original floral decoration.
