The Table of
Continuity in the Church of St Thomas of Canterbury begins with the
appointment of one Henry in 1258, but there was a Church at Northlew
('Lew' being Celtic for 'bright but running stream') in Saxon times.
The last stone relics of this Church are incorporated in the Village
Cross nearby. The date of the actual building of St Thomas is
unknown, but note the unmistakably Norman arch in what is now the
gateway to the Rood Screen staircase. |
