The south side of
St James's Church, Papplewick, Notts.
|
| "The County's best example of
Georgian Gothic. It lies in a wood half a mile from the village, at the end of
a lane, guarded by two sets of gates. Tower 14th C., but the rest is 1795. The
porch is as high as the nave. Inside there is a plastered ceiling.
A gallery,
with fireplace, extends over the north side of the nave, and gives a cramped,
but cosy, effect. Period features include the pulpit, the Royal Arms at the
west end, . . .
Lighting [in 1985] is by candles only - ideally they should be
in silver sconces; actually they are in wrought-iron undulations down the
underside of the gallery - a very 20th Century. 'arty-crafty' touch."
