Little Saxham St Nicholas’ church
Little Saxham St Nicholas’ church
Here is a fine example of a Norman tower, and yet it is Saxon at the base. The blind arcading at the belfry stage is something you don’t see very often. Another nice example is at Thorington. > Link The south door is contemporary with the tower. The porch which has a small stoup is 14th century. Inside, there are two bells which have been removed from the belfry. There are Norman hinges on the door to the rood loft stairs. Animals and grotesques are carved on the bench ends. The tomb with the painted shields is that of Thomas Fitz-Lucas (1531). The piscina has a very simple cusped arch and is adjacent to the dropped-sill sedilia. The altar rails are from Little Livermere. > Link The pulpit is Stuart and retains the sounding board.
