Description

Sibertswold is the old name for the village of Shepherdswell although some maps still show the old name. The tiny Victorian church is a building of great charm designed by Benjamin Ferrey in 1863 and is the fourth to occupy the site; the first being mentioned in the Domesday Survey. The current church was built of local flint with Bath stone dressings and has a little spirelet at the west end. The interior is simple and consists of nave, apsidal chancel and little transepts. The east windows are by the St Helens Crown Glass Co., and represent the Ascension and Four Evangelists. The south window of 1900, by Kempe, shows the Epiphany. The good polished marble decorative shafts to either side of the chancel arch, together with the corbels in the nave, are typical of Ferrey's work. The original font, which was of fine Cornish marble and had matching marble shafts, had to be destroyed, owing to its instability, in 1955.
