Construction and Different Parts of The Building
A Norman church was built during the reign of William I of England, replacing a 7th-century Saxon wooden church. The Norman church was a simple rectangular building about 50 feet in length. Only the north and west walls survive from this period, now part of the nave. The original east wall was removed to facilitate the construction of the south aisle in the 14th century or early 15th century.
The tower is at the west end of the nave. The base of the tower was built around 1200 to 1220. It is constructed of a type of flint and ore known as pudding stone. The upper part was completed around 1340.

Famous quotes containing the words construction, parts and/or building:
“There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face.”

“The real dividing line between early childhood and middle childhood is not between the fifth year and the sixth year—it is more nearly when children are about seven or eight, moving on toward nine. Building the barrier at six has no psychological basis. It has come about only from the historic-economic-political fact that the age of six is when we provide schools for all.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
