A Grade II* Listed Building in Stainton and Thornton, Middlesbrough

West Tower, Stainton-in-Cleveland Church

Uploader's Comments

The tower was added in the Perpendicular style in the 15th century with embattled parapet and a squareheaded two-light transomed belfry window on each side with trefoiled upper lights. The window, though perhaps retaining its ancient head, belongs to the Victorian period of reconstruction. The original aspect of the tower has been completely altered as seen from the west, from which point of view it now appears merely to rise from the gable of the reconstructed nave, which has been built up against it on either side, reducing its apparent height and destroying its proportions.
