The Benedictines built the church and abbey on the site of the battlefield next door. In around 1115, Abbot Ralph built this church to serve the people of the community that had grown up around the abbey.
Like many parish churches in England, the interior is nice but not exceptionally fancy.
There were a group of school children by the altar on the day we were there getting their religious education. What I saw was the well-maintained roof rafters and the pointed gothic arches and not so much the children getting indoctrinated.
The pulpit has stone stairs and the chandeliers are simple and functional.
There is some very nice stained glass in this place. this one is over the altar.
The window below, I think is the one that commemorates the great battle.
