Relhan Collection

<p style='text-align: justify;'><p>St Helen’s church, now built of field stones and clunch, is recorded in 1229 but no fabric is recognised before C14. Today it has a chancel and nave that were rebuilt in C14, and a tower and timber N porch of c.1400. This original N porch survives much as drawn by Relhan with traceried side openings and cusped bargeboarding<i>. </i>The nave roof was replaced C17. Bell 1883 says that the church was <i>‘much restored...the (chancel) arch has been demolished and a sham plaster one substituted</i>’. It was restored 1891-2, when the church acquired oak stalls from Queens’ College Chapel.</p><p>Bell 2013; Bradley and Pevsner 2014; VCH 1973</p></p>
