Churches which still retain west gallery features or connections

Bayvil, Nr Nevern, St Andrew SN 102406.  St Andrew's is a modest but evocative late Georgian box with Gothick windows, and a completely intact interior. The chief joy is the painted and panelled pulpit and reading desk, the former so tall it almost touches the ceiling with its sounding board. There remains a complete set of box pews and an unusually elaborate memorial tablet against the east wall. Link to Friends of Friendless Churches Site
