holy trinity, bottisham

holy trinity, bottisham
south face of the early c14 nave, with tomb niches with knapped flint in the spandrels - an early type of decoration that looks forward to flushwork- and the surface of the wall thought of in terms of a single design held together with string courses, rather than as a blank upon which designs sit to be looked at individually. only the odd transommed window breaks the overall pattern. why the moulding boxes below? there is a sedile and piscina inside unrelated to this. these windows cannot have been to light the rood, as has been suggested, but may have lit a carved or painted reredos on an aisle altar .
