Covenham St Mary, St Mary

Covenham St Mary, St Mary*

Items of interest include an Easter Sepulchre and what is thought to be a leper’s squint. The font is decorated with instruments of the Passion. Several of the brackets which support the roof are carved with corbels, some decorated with grotesque figures, one of which we understand to be quite rare. Another, it has been suggested, is Sheela Na Gig. There are sundials on the southern outer wall and, oddly, one on the northern wall. Several builders’ marks are scratched into both the outer and inner walls, the clearest being a playing card.
