The aisled Norman nave - evidenced in this view by the W door - was heightened in the C14 when the south aisle was also rebuilt to a wider design and the S porch was built; Victorian W window. The tower is early C14 but stands over a Norman crossing and the spire (restored in 1991-2) may be C13 in origin, as (according to The Buildings of England) there are signs that the timbers were dismantled and reused when the tower was rebuilt.

On the left, St James (the Greater) with sword, pilgrim's staff (from which hangs a water-gourd) and his attribute of a scallop shell on his hat. On the right, St Martha, complementing St Mary Magdalene seen in the easterly window.

Chancel rebuilt 1855 to designs of C.A. Buckler, who also designed the alabaster reredos (c.1863); according to the church guide book, James Raymond of Hildersham Hall provided the reredos in memory of his wife and seven children, who all predeceased him, dying of consumption; each of the angels in the spandrels at the top of the reredos represents one of the seven daughters. E window glass of c.1865 by Clayton and Bell. The rector, Robert Goodwin, had been a leading light in the Cambridge Camden Society during his time at the University.

Clayton and Bell carried out the wall paintings c.1889-90, following a scheme designed (according to the church guidebook) by the rector, Robert Goodwin, along with his widowed sister Elizabeth, who helped to finance the work. Goodwin had been a leading light in the Cambridge Camden Society during his time at the University.

In this panel, Saul is struck blind and called to repentance on the road to Damascus. It is at the western end of the N wall of the chancel - the guidebook points out that, as the paintings move eastwards, so the viewer is taken nearer to heaven, the E window being flanked by depictions of Christ's resurrection and ascension.

The easterly of two stained glass windows with C14 figures of saints, "much restored in 1853 by King of Norwich" according to the Buildings of England. On the left, St John the Evangelist, apparently holding the poisoned chalice given him by a pagan priest of Ephesus to test him; the poison escaped from the chalice in the form of a small two-headed dragon, as recounted in the Golden Legend (1228-1298): www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notices/saint-john-evangelist. On the right, St Mary Magdalene, seen wiping Christ's feet with her hair in the lower panel (which looks to me as if it is entirely C19).

C13 W tower with lancet windows (one is visible below the bell openings); aisles were added in the late C13. However, the church was extensively restored and altered in the C19 - the S porch was added (or rebuilt), the tower heightened (1878), the S transept added (replacing a chapel demolished at the start of the C19) and the chancel rebuilt (1855) in style of c.1300, to the designs of C.A. Buckler. The work was carried out during the incumbency of the Robert Goodwin from 1847; according to the church guidebook, Goodwin had been a leading light in the Cambridge Camden Society during his time at the University and financed some of the work himself, along with his widowed sister, Elizabeth Hemington-Goodwin.

Built in 1840-2 to the designs of Thomas Trubshaw at the expense of the Earl of Shrewsbury. The design was described by Pevsner as "architectural roguery" [The Buildings of England: Staffordshire (1974), p.229] and by Colvin as displaying "a perverse originality" [A biographical dictionary of British architects, 1600-1840 (3rd edn., 1995), p.995], perhaps somewhat unexpectedly since Trubshaw was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.

The church, with the exception of the W tower, was rebuilt in 1883 to the designs of Lynam and Rickman of Stoke-on-Trent on the same plan as its Georgian predecessor. It was equipped throughout with stained glass by C. E. Kempe, dating from c.1890 to 1905, mostly at the expense of the Chetwode family of nearby Oakley Park. Pevsner referred to the interior being in the "constant twilight" of Kempe's glass, although large trees in the churchyard to the south also contribute to the gloom. The N aisle has dormer windows, one of them just visible in this shot, and I wonder if these were installed as an afterthought, once it was seen how dark the interior was after the installation of the glass.

This window commemorates the nearby battle of Blore Heath (1459), depicting Henry VI on the left with his wife, Margaret of Anjou, on the right, and St George in the centre. What the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography calls an "unreliable tradition" claims that Queen Margaret observed the battle from Mucklestone church tower.
