Yockleton Church

> The Church Building <

The Church Building rises from an almost circular sloping churchyard which in spring delights with a succession of snowdrops, violets and daffodils and has more than ninety six species of wild plant. The Church is built of grey Alberbury stone with insets of pink Grinshill and pale Cardeston.

One enters the porch under the bell-tower in to the South Aisle separated from the Nave by a three-arch arcade surmounted by clerestory windows of lancets and trefoils. The West End of the Nave holds the Font of Cardeston Stone and on the wall the list of Rectors with, on either side, a Mothers Union display and literature, Trinity Tots handiwork, photographs of parish events and parish notices.

On the North wall is the memorial giving the names of those lost in World Wars I and II.

The Nave and Chancel are separated by a chancel arch supported on decorated marble pilasters with a stone screen leading from the Pulpit rising from three steps. At the North side of the Chancel is the Vestry and on the South side the organ chamber.
The East window of three lights shows the Cricifixion centrally with above it a cinquefoil showing Rails, Crown of Thorns and Scourge. The North light shows St George and St Chad in memory of Rector Thornton and his son; the South light shows St Nicholas in memory of Admiral Banks and St Oswald in memory of a Captain killed in Palestine.

Hand-carved linen-fold panelling extends from the Altar to the Altar Rail placed in memory of the fallen of World War I
