Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A plan of Pulloxhill church prepared before the building of the present nave and tower in 1845-6 shows that only the ancient chancel remained in the ruined shell of the mediaeval church. The nave and tower were virtually abandoned after the chancel was adapted for use as a church in about 1745. Research in 1980 showed the history of the building during the two centuries following the collapse of the tower in the 1650s to be particularly well documented in a range of archival sources. This account draws on those sources and a study of the physical evidence of the building to chronicle the disaster and subsequent attempts at repair The case is interesting in the more general context of illustrating the problems faced by the ecclesiastical authorities and parish officers in maintaining church buildings in the period before the religious revival of the nineteenth century. | ||
