Ian Pinder, who is part of the Sutton Waldron Parish Church Council (PCC) and helped the renovation, said that Jones was born in 1809 and “really laid the foundations for the interior when he was inspired by his travels to the Far East, in the Middle East and in particular by Greece”.
“He also lived in Alhambra in Spain for a while, where he was inspired by the design and decoration in the old buildings.
He said: “We believe that this is the only church that remains through Jones's own works, except for another church in London that has some of his designs.”
