Скачать или смотреть St Botolph's Church, Chevening, Kent

Here I take a look around the parish church of St Botolph in Chevening , Kent dating back to Saxon times.. The church is one of sixty-eight churches in England dedicated to St Botolph, the patron saint of travellers along the ancient Pilgrims' Way to Canterbury.

Nestling on the slopes of the North Downes, the church is the final resting place of the Stanhope family, who resided at Chevening House close-by. The Church contains a number of memorials, plaques & emblems of the family including the white marble effigy of Lady Frederica Stanhope who died in childbirth in 1823. This monument by Sir Francis Chantry is considered one of his finest works.

The Caen stone carved reredos to the main alter is of special note. Created in 1890 it is based on Leonardo da Vinci's painting of 'The Last Supper' and was originally destined for Durham Cathedral......
