Nuneham Courtenay : All Saints

The church is built of limestone ashlar and has a copper-covered dome. Its design is said to be based on one of the temples of Palmyra. The plan of the church is rectangular, with projections on each side. It has a central doorway with wrought iron gates. The east and west fronts are semicircular and are surmounted with half domes. The west front contains an entrance porch with Ionic columns. The main central dome contains four Diocletian windows. On the exterior of the east wall is a large memorial that was moved from the earlier church. The interior has a central rotunda and two rectangular spaces. Around the rotunda are niches containing monuments to the Harcourt family, and there is a small baptistry to its south. Along the walls are elaborately carved Italiante stalls that were introduced in 1880. The wooden lectern dates from the 17th or 18th century. The font is elaborately carved and dates from 1843.
