XVI.—On the Carved Bench Ends in All Saints Church, Trull, near Taunton, Somerset; with Remarks, in a Letter from John Thomas Micklethwaite, Esq., F.S.A., to Henry Salusbury Milman, Esq., M.A., Director, and an Historical Note by the Director

Extract

The Church of All Saints, at Trull, near Taunton, in Somersetshire, consists of a chancel with chapels on either side, a nave with aisles, a south porch, and a tower at the west end of the nave; and the present building, although probably begun in the days of Henry VI., or even earlier, seems not to have been finished before 1560, which date occurs on some of the woodwork of the church. In consequence, if one excepts the tower, the whole building is, in style, Perpendicular. There is no chancel-arch, but a wooden rood-screen with a richly-vaulted overhanging canopy divides the chancel from the nave.
