St Mary, Michelmersh

Michelmersh (this link will take you to a map of Michelmersh) is a relatively large parish church dating from the 12th century onwards. The church had a range of graffiti inscriptions present which included ritual protection marks in the form of a daisy wheel on the window west of the porch, textual inscriptions some relatively recent in date, and a number of crosses, mainly in the porch, and a figure. The figure is located on the window on the south wall east of the porch. It is of medieval date which can be dated from the clothes, to a broad date of the 13th to 15th century. .

Each image is linked to a larger version; to see the larger version it may be necessary to allow 'pop-ups'.
