Church history
ST AUGUSTINE'S LOCKING CHURCH HISTORY
The Church in Locking has a long history. There may have been a preaching cross at Locking during Anglo Saxon times and an early Celtic Norman church in the 11th Century. In 1210 Woodspring Priory in Kewstoke, near Weston-super-Mare, was founded by William de Courtenoi, and Geoffrey Gilbwyne donated "the manor of Lokyng and all belonging to it" to this priory. The current Locking church is sited on the church that the monks of Woodspring Priory dedicated in 1217. Their patron siant was Saint Victor of the Order of St Augustine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury (597 - 604), which is the likely reason why the church at Locking is dedicated to St Augustine.
The only part the first Norman church that remains today is the unique carved stone font which dates from the 11th Century. The other two oldest parts of the current church are the tower which dates from 1380, and the pulpit which was carved c1480.
The list of Vicars of Locking shows that Norman names with the French 'de' still dominated in the 1300s. Vicars were not resident in the village until 1824, and as they held the living of more than one parish often appointed curates to take services.
‘Poor relief’ was provided by the church to the poor of the parish. Locking’s Poor House was situated to the east of the churchyard. The Churchwardens' Account Book for 1634-1683 makes interesting reading:
'It. Given unto fower English peoples wch were robbed by Pyrattes - vi d.'
'It. Given unto two poore women wch had their husbanses slayne in the King's Service the VI th of November - vi d.'
In 1685 Locking Manor supported the rebels and was on the losing side of the Monmouth Rebellion against King James II which ended in the nearby Battle of Sedgemoor. Nearly all the village land, buildings and farms were confiscated by the Crown and later became owned by the Merchant Venturers of Bristol.
By 1800 the church was becoming very dilapidated and a rate of 1d (one penny) in the £ was levied on 35 rate payers in the village to help pay for repairs - a decision of the Merchant Venturers whose own proposed contribution met with disapproval as not being generous enough! Eventually a compromise was reached, and in 1814-15 the church was renovated and the north aisle built at a cost of £233.3s.5d. The picture of the church in 1843 shows it looking very much as it still does today.
A large Victorian Vicarge was built in 1879 with a long sweeping drive bounded by tall hedges of laurel. Within its extensive grounds (now the site of houses in Lychgate Park) were a tennis court, a kitchen garden, a large greenhouse containing a vine, and a small woodland area. It also had a coach house and stables which were later converted to form the church hall. The old vicarage was demolished and replaced in 1969 with the modern vicarage, and the coach house with the modern St Augustine's Church Centre.
Celtic Norman Font
The most fascinating part of the church is the font. The carving and inter-twined serpents in the panels are characteristic of Celtic art, placing it in the 11th century. However, the figures at the corners are dressed in armour of the style of Richard I (1189 - 1199). A few years ago, it was suggested that their costume is characteristic of Henry V (1413 - 1422) because of the head-dresses of the figures are those which were worn at that time. These head-dresses were cut off during alterations in the last century, when the rim of the font was reduced in height to make it level. But it is possible that the changes were made on the figures to keep costumes up to date with the styles of the time, and the Church built in 1380 might have replaced an earlier Church built in either the 11th or late 12th Century. The font stands beneath the tower, but this was not its original place. The south side lacks ornamentation, and therefore this would have been facing a wall. Also it originally stood on one pillar, part of which was found in the Churchyard in the 1970s and now stands in the porch. The four corner pillars were added in the 19th century to ease the weight on the corners. The font has been used for over 800 years. Think of the number of people and babies who have been baptised in it!
Parish Records
There was an old chest in the Church dating back to the 17th century. It contained Parish records from that date, and these contain many items of local interest. For example, six pence was given to Englishmen who had been robbed by pirates. There was also an old map in the vestry on vellum dated 1800, which shows the village with just thirteen houses. These ancient records are now in the North Somerset achives.
Pulpit
The 15th century pulpit is one of the finest in Somerset. Since there are five other octagonal stone pulpits in other churches in the local vicinity it is likely that they are the work of one school of craftsmen. Beneath the Victorian paint, traces of what may be original colouring can be seen, and the pulpit may have been gaily painted with vegetable dye when first carved in about 1480. It was repainted in the 1970s.
Monuments
There is a War Memorial plaque to villager Sapper Glimstead of the Royal Engineers who was killed near Ypres in 1917 during the 1st World War.
Wall Texts and Panelling
There are a collection of biblical texts painted on the walls above the nave archway, doors and windows. The Ten Commandments on either side of the communion table were scripted in 1804. The wooden panelling in the chancel was done by Locking Woodworking Class, run by Miss Gimingham of Locking Manor, and completed between 1914 - 17. A number of parishioners carved separate panels, their names can be seen at the base of each one
Stained Glass Windows
The church has some fine stained glass windows, including three dedicated to the Law family. Bishop George Henry Law d.1845 was Bishop of Bath & Wells and noted for promoting Banwell Caves near Locking where he built a garden, tower and grotto as an allegory to Noah's Flood; a window dedicated to his daughter-in-law Lady Henrietta Charlotte Law d.1866 who was the daughter of 6th Earl of Stamford and Warrington from Dunham Massey in Cheshire; and another to her son Rev George Henry Law, Vicar of Locking 1857 - 1875, who died in Locking and is buried in the church graveyard.
Tower
The tower is a fine example of the towers for which Somerset is famous, and from the top one has a splendid view of the surrounding countryside and out towards the coast. It is the highest point in the Parish. It was built in 1380 and therefore is the oldest part of the Church fabric. The trefoil parapet which surmounts the tower had to be partly restored in 1965.
A major project to restore the tower including complete re-rendering was carried out in 2018/19. See Church Heritage Project
Bells
St Augustine's, Locking, has a ringable peal of 6 bells. The fourth bell is 14th Century, cast in Bristol circa 1380 it is one of the oldest in the country still in regular use. It has some interesting chisel marks and is of listed status due to its age.
The tenor bell dates from 1792, and is inscribed 'I to Church the living call and to the grave I summon all'. From George Massey's account in his book 'The Church Bells of Somerset', it is recorded that there were originally 4 bells in the tower dating back to the 14th Century.
The peal was augmented to five bells in 1921 and then to six in 1946 to commemorate victory in the 2nd World War and appropriately called the 'Victory Bell'. The bells were rehung on a cast iron metal frame in 1904 and have been refurbished in 2019.
An old beam dated 1631 and taken from the belfry bares the name of John Plumley, Lord of the Manor. His sons John and William were imprisioned and died following the Monmouth Rebellion. The old door on the inside of the stairs leading to the top of the tower is original 14th century.
The bell ringing chamber, bell ropes and bell bearings were refurbished as part of the Church Tower heritage project.
Lychgate
At the entrance to the churchyard is a fine wooden lychgate commemorating Rev Alexander John Woodforde (1839-1909) who was Vicar of St Augustine's Locking for 15 years 1894-1909. He is buried in the churchyard.
The Church Is a House of Prayer, worship and witness, not just a museum. People in each generation need to know the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
