St Benedicts Church - Part 2The porch of the church is 15th century, but its' outer door belongs to the 13th; in the porch roof are 5 original floral bosses and two defaced stone figures, a woman wearing a wimple and a forester with horn, bow and arrows. Just outside the porch entrance is a grave stone dated 1652. The high arcades of the nave are 15th century, and between the clestory windows are eight heads which held up the original roof. The font is from the Norman church and has deep bands of carving, and there is more Norman craftsmanship on the columns on which the English builders raised an arch leading from the chancel to the north chapel. There is an elegant 14th century piscina with an elaborate canpoy, in contrast to a plain 13th century piscina in the south aisle. In 1998 the church had it's bells recast and rehung and these are now rung on Sunday mornings. The church of St Benedict's in Glinton is part of a Benefice that includes St Pega's, Peakirk, and St Andrew's, Northborough. Details of the service pattern for the Benefice will be available online soon. The current Church Wardens are : Veronica Smith (tel : 252019) and Alan Eagle (tel : 253726)
