WHAT IS IN THE CHURCH?
There are lots of things to see in the church. There are things you will find in every church like long wooden seats called pews, an alter, crosses and candlesticks. St Oswald's church has a really cool pulpit made out of stone. This is where the priest would stand when he was speaking in church to make sure everyone could see him and he could see everyone (so he would know if you fell asleep!) There are also lots of monuments. One shows two people kneeling, one shows the head and solders tow a big and little person (maybe a mother and child) and lots of others are just writing. Having a monument in the church usually meant you were very important in the village or had given the church a lot of money. Look out for the plough which is kept in the church. This was used to turn up soil to plant seeds. Our favorite thing in St Oswald's is the carving in the picture. We think it looks like either a dragon, a wolf or a rabbit. What do you think? |
