Seton Collegiate Church

It being Easter Sunday, I thought I would blip the local Seton Collegiate Church.

The church consists of the complete eastern limb and the two transcepts of a cruciform church, the crossing tower as high as it was built (the completion of the spire was precluded by the Reformation), and the dubious foundations of the nave, which was not built. 

The walls of the choir and chancel were built by 1478, and roofed by 1508. The transepts were erected sometime between 1513 and 1588. As such the eastern limb stood without them for at least 35 years. The church was raised to collegiate status in 1492. Contained within are two effigies: one male and one female, dating from the fifteenth century. The female effigy, badly defaced, is possibly of earlier origin.

I hope you have had a good Easter Sunday, with loads of eggs.
