Jonah South chancel window by Frederick Preedy, c1862, and with its small, richly coloured scenes easily the most striking glass in the church. The window commemorates the family of Charles Augustus Hand who were drowned during a storm at sea in 1862. His father-in-law was then rector of this church and commissioned the window in memory of his daughter and her family. The images appropriately relate to their sacrifice at sea. The church of St Peter at Willersey is a handsome cruciform building, which has evolved throughout the medieval period reaching it's present form in the 15th century when the attractive central tower was built. Inside it is an intriguing sequence of intimate spaces, having no aisles except the rather cramped one on the north side of the nave. The crossing beneath the tower is especially beautiful, culminating in a vaulted ceiling (added in 1859). The chancel shows Victorian restoration but has some fetching glass. The church is usually kept open and welcoming to visitors. / VFL.Ru — надёжный и быстрый фотохостинг с 2009 года
