SCOTTON EASTGATE Church of St. Genewys

16.12.64

I

Parish church. C12, late C13,C15 C16, restoration of 1866 by G. E.Street. Coursed limestone rubble with concrete tiled roofs. Western tower, nave, north and south aisles, chancel. Three stage tower with moulded string course, battlemented parapet and gargoyle chutes to north and south sides. The corner stepped buttresses are added. On the south side is a large blocked pointed arch which would have opened into the south aisle. In the blocking is a C19 pointed doorway. In the second stage is a plain single light. The west face has a small lancet at ground level and a small circular window above. In the second stage is a further smaller lancet. The belfry stage has to each face a C16 two light opening with cusped trefoil heads and mouchettes under a hoodmould. The north aisle has three C15 watershute heads and four C13 two light windows with Y tracery, one being set in the west wall and three in the north. In the east wall is a three light C13 window with Y tracery. The north door is a pointed head, with an order of roll mouding, a hobnail order and originally a hob nailed hood mould. Beside the door are engaged angle shafts with outer nook shafts, both with conceptual foliage on annular bases. The north wall of the chancel has a stepped cill course and two two light C13 windows with Y tracery, trefoil heads and quatrefoils with beyond to the east a single lancet. The C19 east window has three lights with geometric tracery. The south wall of the chancel has a C19 two light copy of the north chancel C13 windows, and a blocked priest's door. High up is an oval plaque with illegible inscription. The east wall of the south aisle has a moulded triangular hooded window with hoodmould and label stops, seemingly remade from fragments. In the south wall are two fine three light Y tracery windows with deep single chamfered reveals, hood moulds and human head stops. The south doorway has a plain single chamfered arched head with two displaced human head stops. In the west wall is a repositioned two light window with Y tracery.

Interior; the three, bay late C13 north and south arcade, the north having circular columns, the south octagonal, each having simply moulded capitals and double chamfered arches. Only the south side now has hood moulds with carved heads to the labels. In the west wall is a small triangular headed doorway to the tower. Above the earlier pitch of a lower roof can be seen. In the north aisle is a late C13 tomb recess with a two centred moulded arch over. In the north aisle is a blocked squint at the east end. The chancel arch is of two chamfered orders springing from octagonal corbels. Above the arch is a two light C15 window with cusped heads. The chancel has a C19 piscina and sedilia on the south side and an aumbry on the north. In the south wall is incorporated what appears to be a Romanesque arch. All the fittings, including the font are from the C19 restoration.

Monuments: at the east end of the south aisle is a late C13 recumbent effigy of a cross legged knight with chain mail and surcoat, his feet resting on a lion. Beneath him are pieces of a C15 tomb with blank quatrefoils. Close by is the effigy of a lady, also late C15, with flowing robes and her feet resting on a dog. In the east end of the north aisle is a C15 priest's grave slab, originally with black lead Lombardic inscription. The head, shoulder and hands are shown in relief in a recessed panel at the head of the slab.
