From Audely End House, we headed back to our
accommodation in Teversham. The parish church in Teversham is All Saints'. We
tried to have a look at it yesterday but it was locked. There
was a notice indicating tht the kew could be obtained from a
local business across the road. As yesterday was a public
holiday, we couldn't do that. We tried again today and met with
success!
The key was ancient and large (definitley NOT similar to the holder!)
Once upon a time, the choir was quite large. I don't know how they all fitted into the small choir stalls!
The Lectern
This Bible has been there since 1864.
A lovely kneeler
According to someone who attended a service recently, the orgain is still used and played well.
Some carving on a stall
Once again, there were angels to help hold up the roof.
As is often the case, there were only a few fragments of the original stained glass.

After a brief pause at our accommodation, we
headed to King's College for Evensong at 5:30pm. The introit
was "We Wait for Thy Loving Kindness" by William McKie. (He
was an Australian who was the organist at Westminster Abbey
for the late Queen Elizabeth's Coronation.) The rest of the
music included the Responses by Martin, Psalm 49 sung to a
familiar chant by Walmisley, the canticles by Wood in E Flat
No.2, and the anthem "Behold, O God our Defender" by Herbert
Howells. Once again the choir was superb.
King's College
We didn't stay to hear the organ voluntary at it was 6:15pm and we wanted to get to Jesus College Chapel for Evensong at 6:30pm. It was raining so we called an Uber. We arrived just after the choir and we were ushered into stalls usually reserved for the fellows of the College. Sometimes it pays to be a little late! The Choir of Jesus College was joined by the Choir of The Leys School, making a total of 45 singers. The music included the responses by Byrd, the canticles by Brewer in D and the anthem "Let All the World" by Ralph Vaughan Williams. With so many singers in a small chapel, there was plenty of volume! All the music was performed creditably and we were glad we had made the effort to attend.
