Alveston - Old Church
All that survives of Alveston's ancient parish church is the chancel, itself
an 18th cenury rebuilding in rendered brick, which has stood alone picturesquely
since the new church at the other end of the village replaced it in 1839.
It is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust and in the plain and
simple interior are several fine memorials, the most notable being the
Elizabethan wall-mounted effigy of Nicholas Lane c1595.
On the south wall is a weathered Norman tympanum, a reminder of the
preceeding building on this site.
