Font, Willoughby

The church of St Nicholas at Willoughby is the result of a complete rebuilding in the early years of the 16th century, ending with construction of the west tower which was finished in 1536. It is thus quite unusual for find a small church like this from the early Tudor period, manifesting a kind of rural Perpendicular. We don't alas have the entire late medieval building though since the chancel was rebuilt again at the beginning of the 19th century and its external rendering contrasts sharply with the rest of the building.

Inside the shallow arches of the nave betray the late medieval rebuilding, though the flat plaster ceilings suggest late Georgian remodelling, probably contemporary with the rebuilding of the chancel. The font in the south aisle however is 13th century and the oldest feature of the church, clearly from the previous building.

The church has generally been kept locked outside services though on my previous visit in the early 90s keyholder details were given. This time I was very fortunate to meet a nice lady on my way through the churchyard who just happened to have a key and kindly let me inside, and suggested that in future the church may be kept open more regularly.
