NOTES: Church of Norman origin, but largely rebuilt 1396-1418. The medieval tower collapsed in 1798 and was rebuilt in 1801 with old materials, but not to the original design. Above the chancel is an early 15th wall painting of the Doom.

NOTES: The church is a mixture of periods, 12th, 13th and 14th centuries. The interior is largely Norman with reused Roman columns in the nave. The nave was heightened in the 14th century. The chancel was rebuilt in 1882-1883. The church also has a distinctive lead broach spire. The wall paintings date from c. 1130-1150 and depict images from the Passion of Christ.
NOTES: Kenneth Bayes was a member of the Design Research Unit. His projects were very much influenced by the expressive and organic architectural language of the German architect Rudolf Steiner, the key protaganist of the Theosophical movement.
NOTES: Asplund and Lewerentz won the competition for the new cemetery in 1915 and spent the next 25 years developing the cemetery in a landscape of wooded pines populated by small chapels. The Chapel of the Holy Cross is by Asplund 1935-1940. See RIBA132312 for a black and white version of this image.
