St Margaret's church - rood screen panels
St Margaret's church > Link - Link is located only about one kilometre down the road, to the south of St Mary's at Shelton > Link. St Margaret's used to have a round tower which collapsed during a storm in the late 18th century and has never been rebuilt. The church is of Norman origins and retains both its original doorways > Link - with a mural depicting St Christopher > Link on the north wall opposite the south door. Beside it there is a Jacobean tester pew, complete with roof and original handle - it was used as the former squire's 17th century family pew > Link but has since been moved to the west wall and is presently used for storage. The C14 octagonal font > Link stands nearby. The church retains its original rood screen > Link with its carved tracery and stencilled panels. The chancel houses a 17th century tomb to Sir Edmund Reeve > Link and another to his son and daughter-in-law, Sir Peter and Lady Penelope Gleane > Link. A brass nearby commemorates George Bacon, member of an important East Anglian family, whose shield depicts pigs as their symbol > Link.
