Description:A view of the tower, arcades and chancel of the partly ruined old church.
The building of the church began in the early 13th century (the east bay dates from this period). The other remaining bays are later 13th century, while the east window in the chapel is Victorian. When this church became unstable, the new church of St. Augustine was built on the opposite side of Station Road.
This photograph is from an album of local views taken by Edward King Tenison (1805-1878), a highly regarded photographer in the early decades of photography. His family seat was at Kilronen, Roscommon, Ireland and he married Louisa Mary Anne Anson, daughter of the 1st Earl of Lichfield, also an accomplished amateur photographer. These images were probably taken during Tenison's visits to his wife's family home, Shugborough.
