Brief description

"History of the church

Blisland Church dates from Norman times the evidence for which can be seen in the West and North walls of the Nave. There may well have been a Saxon Church or even a Celtic place of worship but no archaeological evidence for this has yet been found.

The Norman building was extensively enlarged in the 15th century by the addition of the tower, the porch, the South aisle, the North transept with the Lady Chapel and the South transept. The South transept was rebuilt in the 18th century to form a private chapel which is now the Vestry. The impressive barrel vault ceilings with their carved angels and bosses also form part of the 15th century transformation. The tower contains six bells re-cast in 1790 (replacing four older ones 1420 – 1789) and restored in 1908.

Over the succeeding centuries there was a considerable amount of neglect and decay but in the 19th century a major restoration was undertaken to restore such medieval work as had survived and to provide a new medieval style Rood Screen, a renaissance style High Altar, an elaborate plaster ceiling in the Chancel and a carved beam in the South Aisle to support the subsided leaning column. This was master-minded by Rector Vernon Edward-Collins , designed by F.C.Eden and paid for by the villagers and the Edward-Collins family. "
