Background
History
The church is one of the largest in Rutland The tower is 14th century, and evidence suggests that it could have been used as a watchtower. but was so heavy it caused the nave pillars to shift. Strengthening arches were built to stop the building from collapsing. A statue to St Barbara, by Edwin Lutyens stands in the north aisle. The early 16th-century screen to the Lady Chapel was brought here from the old chapel of St John's College, Cambridge during the 1867 – 1870 restoration by George Gilbert Scott who had recently built the new college chapel. A wall memorial to Lady Abigail Sherard is in the chancel. It was found in several different pieces and had to be put together again.
