St Andrew
Stratton, Cornwall
There are some fascinating items to spot in the parish church of St Andrew, including the old town stocks and the stoutly studded door from Stratton Gaol, with iron nails outlining the word CLINK!
For example, work was done on the rood loft and rood screen in 1538, including the construction of stairs.
The church has two wall paintings of St Christopher.
The churchwarden’s records reveal that in the 1520s the church had at least five guilds, including one to St Christopher, and one to St Olaf (a Scandinavian saint).
There are excellent bench ends here, as well as a medieval south door and roof bosses dating from the 1530s.
