Tarrington church dates back to Norman times and much of the present structure remains from this period, the nave and entire chancel being mostly of this period, though the later enlargement of most of the windows make this rather less obvious. The square west tower is a later medieval addition, whilst the north aisle of the nave was apparently added to the church in 1836, but the ancient masonry appears to have been reused. The south wall of the nave was much restored in Victorian times when it was externally refaced.
Inside the Norman work becomes more apparent with the chancel arch the focal point of the interior (it is much restored but some amusing carved faces remain on the capitals on either side). The north windows of the chancel also retain their Romanesque shape and have quirky carved moldings around their upper edges. One south window has some interesting fragments of 15th century stained glass while on the north side is a fine 14th century tomb with an effigy of a noblewoman. The Victorian glass is mostly less appealing.
Tarrington church is happily normally kept open and welcoming to visitors and rewards a bit of an explore. I came here twice in 2010 but have not been back since, thus for the moment I will have to make do with my not so great photos from 13 years ago from my previous camera.
