St James

1

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."
