Ridgewell - St Lawrence Roof

Above the 15th century clerestory windows, the splendid roof is supported by collar beams on arched braces, each alternate on resting on corbel supported shafts. There are the remains of intricate carvings on the braces - the figures of angels (or seraphims) are now gone, victims of Cromwell's anti-idolatry purges.
