Tourist Guide

Pic by Jenny. The church dates from the 14th century onwards and is located in the grounds of Kelham Hall. It consists of a west tower, nave with north and south aisles and clerestory, north and south porches, chancel, and a south chancel Chapel (Lexington Chapel). The tower is of four stages and has crocketted pinnacles. It dates from the 15th century, although the base is older. All of the exterior is embattled. The nave is of three bays, mostly with 15th century windows. Both arcades date from the late 14th century. The roof is 19th century. The chancel screen is late perpendicular with elaborate tracery. There is also a parclose screen to the Lexington Chapel. The north porch is 15th century, with an original door. The south porch is similar but with a 19th-century door. This is currently not used. The chancel has a five-light late 15th century east window, with 19th C. stained-glass. To the south of the chancel is the Lexington Chapel which was built in 1723 and contains a freestanding monument to Robert Sutton Lord Lexington, d. 1723 and lady Lexington, d. 1703. The sculptures are by William Palmer. The font is probably the oldest piece in the church, dating from the 13th century with a later base, and a 19th century wooden conical cover. Most of the fittings are from the 19th century, but the octagonal timber pulpit has a 17th century moulded stem and base, although the upper part is much later. The church was restored in 1874 by Hodgson Fowler.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,002 reviews)
Hotel was nice and welcome was good. I was rudely awaken at 5am in my room from the sound of deliveries and recycling glass bottles which is awful considering the reason we use hotels is to sleep. It has completely ruined my day with work due to tiredness I am now facing. Not one at all
