Full Record - Mapledurham, Church of St Margaret, nave
| Location | Mapledurham, Church of St Margaret, nave, Oxfordshire |
|---|---|
| Grid reference | SU 670 767 |
| Description | (a) The nave roof was sampled in 1992 and several rafters and a collar dated, giving a range of felling dates up to 1445/6 (Miles and Haddon-Reece 1993, VA 24, list 54). Recent repairs gave access to the roof timbers internally and a tiebeam was sampled, which confirmed the previous 1445/6 felling date, suggesting that the nave roof was replaced during 1446 or shortly thereafter.(b, c) The Bardolf Aisle is stone-built, on the south side of the nave, and has a lean-to roof, parapet, buttresses, and square-headed perpendicular windows with some fine reset sixteenth-century Flemish glass. It is thought to have been built between 1381 and 1395 as a Chantry chapel to commemorate Sir Robert and Dame Amice Bardolf. The roof is lead-covered on a shallow-pitched roof structure with shallow roll-moulded tiebeams and purlins with mason's mitres and supported at the outside wall with jowled wall posts on corbels. The earliest date for one of the principal timbers is a moulded tiebeam which might possibly be a replacement of 1472, and other replaced rafters / joists dating from 1607/8, which coincides with the construction of the brick and flint bell tower (Miles et al 2007, VA 38, list 191). The aisle is unusual in that it remains a Catholic aisle in an otherwise Anglican church; it has been owned by the Lords of the Manor since the Reformation, used as a private mortuary chapel. |
