Brief description
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Edith%27s_Church,_Eaton-under-Heywood
"The nave dates from the 12th century, and the tower and chancel from the early part of the following century. Alterations were made in the 14th and 15th centuries. In 1869 the church was restored by W. J. Hopkins.[4]
The nave roof dates from the 15th century, and the chancel roof from about 1600. The latter is lower, almost flat, and more ornate than that of the nave. It contains large bosses carved with foliage and grotesques.[4] On the tympanum between the chancel and nave roof are painted coats of arms. The font is Norman and tub-shaped, with a cover dated 1872. The pulpit is carved with tracery and has a backplate dated 1670. The stained glass in the east window, dated 1869, is by Frederick Preedy, and depicts subjects relating to Saint Edith. In the nave are windows by Done and Davies dated 1859 and 1869. On the north side of the chancel is a four-light window, unveiled 1938, in memory of Alan Bertram Hanbury-Sparrow and his son Brian (killed in World War I), featuring figures of St George and St Francis and his son's regimental badge and Military Cross decoration, by A. K. Nicholson workshops.[5]
On the south wall is a plaque erected by the Revd C.G.N. Friedrichs in memory of his mother and his brother, Captain Duncan Alexander Friedrichs (killed in Somaliland campaign in 1901).[5] In the north chancel wall is a tomb recess under a canopy decorated with ballflowers. It contains the effigy of a civilian dating from the early 14th century.[4] There is a ring of three bells. The two oldest were cast in 1615 and 1622 by William Clibury, and the third by Mears and Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1869.[6] "
