ABSTRACT

At the back of the high altar in the said church there was a goodly mount, made of one great tree, and set up to the foot of the window there, carved very artificially with the story of Christ’s passion, representing the horsemen with their swords and the footmen, etc. as they used Christ on the mount of Calvary, all being fair gilt, and lively and beautifully set forth. To cover and keep clean all the which, there were very fair and painted boards, made to shut to, which were opened upon high and solemn feast days, which then was a very beautiful show. Which painted boards were set up again in Queen Mary’s time. At the north end of the same altar, there was a goodly tilt tabernacle, reaching up to the roof of the chancel, in the which there was one large fair gilt image of the Holy Trinity, being patron of the church; besides other fair images. The like tabernacle was at the south end.
