Middleton - St Andrew

07 Jun 2024 64
There has been a church here since Saxon times and the base of the tower is Saxon. On the west wall is a blocked off Saxon doorway with a later oval window at the top. The battlemented top is later and probably late 12th century. The nave is Saxon/Norman although the clerestory and side aisles were added later. The chancel was rebuilt in the 19th century. 10th century Saxon/Viking crosses are displayed in the north aisle. This is the "Middleton Cross". A warrior with a pointed helmet, sword, axe, spear
