Piscina & Sedilia - St James - Sutton Cheney, Leicestershire - Stone Church Artefacts on Waymarking.com

Piscina and sedilia in the chancel of St James' church, Sutton Cheney. Located beneath the south east window is the sedilia, with simply chamfered arches and a foiled piscina - the bowl is broken off. There are also two aumbries, one with ogival arch set beneath a north east window.

"The church of St James mostly dates from the 14th century and probably replaces an earlier church on the site. The church consists of a low west tower, nave, chancel and south chapel. The circular arcade dates to the 13th century, the low west tower has a brick upper stage which was rebuilt in the early 19th century."

The chancel dates back to the 14th century, but was rebuilt in 1905, although the original 14th century piscina and sedilia were retained.
