Britain's What's On Event Guide
St Martin, Womersley
Heritage Open Day: St Martin's is a beautiful medieval church with a new interior designed by George Bodley in the 19th century. Come and see beautiful vestments, take a trip up the tower and enjoy refreshments. Frances Cassandra, Countess of Rosse, was a leading light in the English Church Union, and wanted ‘her’ church to be reordered in ‘the most advanced fashion’. She shipped in all the ornaments you can see, including the 17th century Spanish tile picture of the Last Supper on the south wall, almost hidden by the font cover, which she also commissioned.
Beside the font is the effigy of a member of the de Newmarch family, the local baron in the 14th century.
