Benchmark - Holy Trinity church - Wysall, Nottinghamshire - European Historic Survey Stones, Monuments and Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Cut benchmark on north east face, north west angle, of Holy Trinity church, Wysall.

"THE church consists of a tower crowned by a slender and picturesque spire, a nave with south aisle, a south porch and a chancel. The whole building was sympathetically restored in 1873 and again in 1909.

The tower is in the Early English style and may be dated to about the year 1300, and it is surmounted by a singularly graceful spire of the 14th century. This spire rises from within battlements, and in this respect it forms an interesting contrast to the rather earlier broached spire at the neighbouring village of Willoughby. There is a ring of three bells, one of which bears the mark of Henry Oldfield, a member of the family that raised the calling of bell-founding to such eminence in Nottingham. The Oldfield Foundry was in Narrow Marsh and there, in 1610, they cast that well-known bell, “Great Tom” of Lincoln. The bell-chamber is reached by an ancient and very rough ladder which may well be of the 13th century and contemporary with the tower. "
