Norman pillars

To the North of the Nave are five pillars. These are part of the original Norman church; built about 1150, of which only these pillars and parts of the west wall remain. The Tudors built up the wall of the north aisle, causing it to move. This accounts for the leaning Norman pillars and the great beams in the nave roof which hold the walls together.
