Extract

The nave roof of the Norman church of St. Mary, Kempley, Gloucestershire, is hidden above a seventeenth-century ceiling. Recent study has shown the roof structure to be substantially original. The roof is described and its date considered against various dating schemes for the building. A preferred date of c. 1120 is proposed.
