EXTRACTS FROM THE
Since 1834 great alterations have been made in Chilton
Church by the present Hector, the Rev. John Leybornc
Popham, am! it may now be considered one of the handsomest
and most complete in the diocese of Salisbury. In the chancel
a perpendicular window of three lights has been inserted at the
east end and filled with stained glass by Willemcnt, in his best
style. There is a Painswick stone altar, with a reredos of the
same material, divided into niches and highly adorned in polychrome. Two piscinas were discovered in uncommon situations,
one on the south side of the east wall, with its original wooden
shelf; this is now shewn through a perforation of the reredos ;
the other a mere circular shallow basin with drain, cut in the
sill of the north window. The north and south windows are
both filled with stained quarries. The floor paved with
encaustic tile. The roof, waggon-shaped, of oak, divided into
panels painted blue. Oak stalls, altar rails, and lining of walls,
all richly carved. The old Jacobean screen has been restored.
To the north of the chancel a vestry has been built, with an
external door, an opening to the chancel and another through
the angle of the nave to the pulpit, which, with the prayer-desk
and the open benches of the church, are of carved oak. The
south aisle, with its porch, has been rebuilt in the perpendicular style, and is considerably widened. Both nave and aisle
have the old semicircular or waggon roofs of polished oak. The
font is new, of semi-Norman style, enriched with the dog-tooth
moulding, and a series of sculptures on the eight panels. These
are the work of an amateur and are admirably executed.
Throughout the church texts of scripture are painted in illuminated character, and the beatitudes stretch along the wall-plates
of the nave, north and south.
The fast Register commences about the year 1568, but the
early entries are very much obliterated.
