Church of St Peter

A Grade I Listed Building in Hilton, Stockton-on-Tees

Chancel Arch

Uploader's Comments

The chancel arch is of two orders towards the nave, but square on the east side, and is very much depressed. The outer order is square and without ornament, but the inner has a half-round moulding on the soffit, and the angle has a hollow chamfer with pellet ornament. The inner order springs at a height of 6 ft. 10 in. from half-round responds with carved capitals, and the outer from angle shafts with scalloped cushion capitals differing in detail, that on the south side having small volutes at the angles. The impost moulding is carried along the face of the wall north and south on the nave side, and has three triangular grooves immediately above the chamfer. The wall above the arch has been rebuilt.
