St Gregory's Church, Castlemorton (Oil Lamp)

Electric lighting was installed in the Church in 1956. This oil lamp is a reminder of an earlier time, when such lamps would have been the only source of lighting.

The half-arch at the west end of the arcade may be seen behind the lamp. It seems possible to me that - like in Eckington, Holy Trinity Church, the building of the tower in 1387 may have obscured the other half.
