Description
'All Saints, High Street. (Now used as a Natural History Museum, the plate is in the Castle Museum) In an impressive position, facing the modern opening towards the castle. Little of interest, except the fine W tower of flint, with diagonal buttresses and flint and ashlar decoration of the battlements. Big three-light bell-openings. The rest mostly 1855-9. C15 the pier between chancel and N chapel- of the familiar four shafts-and-four-hollows section. Double-chamfered arches. STAINED GLASS.
