Bramerton is too small for the church against which it stands. The space beneath the tower here has been extended out sideways to form transepts, and there are elaborate traceried altar squints from these transepts into the body of the nave.
There is a delightful red brick Tudor priest door, and in general you might think this church mainly the work of the century before that, but to step inside is to enter a building that is now almost entirely Victorian inside, a medieval shell containing a 19th century Tractarian church.
The chancel with its austere reredos and deep windows overwhelms everything, and is very much of its age. The glass matches the painting of the pipe organ at the west end. A north transept was part of the restoration, and the deeply coloured glass gave it a real 19th century atmosphere. The woodwork, of course, was all renewed, but it is not without interest.
