Full Record - Wistanstow, Holy Trinity Church, N Transept

LocationWistanstow, Holy Trinity Church, N Transept, Shropshire
Grid referenceSO 433 856
DescriptionHoly Trinity Church at Wistanstow is an interesting cruciform building with a substantial central tower. The north transept still retains its original roof, which has here been dated to 1200-1221. This originally consisted of seven individual rafter-couples with straight soulaces, ashlar pieces and solepieces. Two rafters were dated through photography of the exposed rafter ends. The southernmost rafter-couple had been replaced by two rafters of more slender scantling, one producing a felling date of 1627, possibly.preceding the replacement of the chancel roof in 1630 (D.H.S. Cranage An Architectural Account of the Churches of Shropshire, part 3, (1897), bound Hobson & Co., Wellington, 1901, 168-172). The roof of the north transept is more exactly detailed. See arictle VA 28, p 105-106.
