English: St Mary's church - south doorway A portrait of Edith Cavell can be seen in the background.
St Mary's > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1353244 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1353257 dates from the 12th century but has been restored several times since. It still houses the original C14 font which has a 17th century cover > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1353259. The rood screen > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1353248 is original also but has been repainted. The rood screen dado is of recent construction and was made from wood obtained from the redundant St Margaret's church at Westwick, Norwich. The altar comes from Briston church. There are some old poppy-head pews in the chancel. Flemish glass > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1353255 is inset into some of the windows, others contain medieval glass fragments from the original east window. The present east window is the Edith Cavell memorial window > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1353252 and was installed in 1917. St Mary's > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1353225 is very much the church of Frederick Cavell - father of Edith Louisa Cavell - who was rector here for 46 years. Edith Cavell was a trained nurse. During the war she was in charge of a pioneer training school for lay nurses, 'L'École Belge d'Infirmières Diplômées' (The Belgian School of Registered Nurses) on the outskirts of Brussels which cared for soldiers of both sides. She also saw it as her humanitarian duty to help British soldiers escape back to England but she was caught, and shot by the Germans on the morning of October the 12th, 1915. http://www.edithcavell.org.uk/. Her name heads the list of the fallen on the war memorial > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1353214 beside the path to the church, and her portrait hangs on the wall opposite the south doorway of the church. Edith Cavell is buried in Brussels but her family's grave can be found in the north-eastern corner of St Mary's churchyard > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1353231. |
