St Gregory's Church, Fledborough

[1] During the 18th century the church gained a degree of notoriety because its rector, Rev W. Sweetapple, granted licences for marriage to runaway couples.

[4] In 1820, Thomas Arnold, later headmaster of Rugby School, married Mary Penrose, the daughter of the rector, in the church.

The south porch has diagonal buttresses, a coped gable with a ridge cross, and an arched entrance.

[1] Built into the exterior of the wall of the south aisle is the carved effigy of a woman, holding what is thought to be a heart.

In the north wall of the chancel is a piscina, over which are remaining parts of an Easter Sepulchre.

These consist of panels carved with depictions of sleeping soldiers, angels, and Christ rising from the dead.

Also on the south wall is a simple alms box bearing the inscription "Remember the Poor 1684".

The middle light of the east window, partly blocked by masonry, contains a canopied niche.

[3] Most of the church furniture, including the pulpit and the octagonal font, dates from the 19th century.
