Consists of nave, S aisle, chancel, S chapel and W tower and spire. Part C13 - chancel masonry may be earlier - but mostly C15 with complete pewing and screens, monuments, glass and other features. (1) (2)
11 slice samples were taken in 1984 from the roof producing two groups. The first had a last-ring date of either 1551 or 1702. The second group had a last-ring date of either 1579 or 1595. (3)
The church of Holme-by-Newark is a complex mix of periods from the 13th to the 18th centuries. The divi-sion between nave and chancel also has no arch but has clearly been heavily restored with considerable work undertaken in AD 1932. On the south side of the area where the arch must once have been is evi-dence of a former rood loft, a common feature in medieval churches which often comprised a narrow stair leading to a small gallery or platform between nave and chancel that was used in the medieval liturgy [50]. The evidence is slight, taking the form of an irregular projection from the wall, capped by a carved, square stone. The wall was examined with thermal imaging to ascertain if any further evidence or either the stair or loft could be elucidated. The results pre-sented here are from a single survey. [Thermal Image]shows the upper area of the junction wall. A complex of anomalies, not apparent under normal visual conditions, is evident. The qualitative interpretation may indicate the presence of a blocked stair and upper doorway in this region if voids are present. (4)
