The church of St Nicholas in Bradwell - C19 memorial
St Nicholas' church is located across the road from Woodlands Middle School in Church Walk. A church stood on this site before the oldest church in Great Yarmouth was built but the building > Link as we see it today dates mainly from the 14th century. Extensively restored in the 19th century, not much has survived from medieval times. The C15 baptismal font > Link is of the typical East Anglian style and has four seated lions grouped around its stem. A 17th century monument > Link can be seen on the chancel north wall. It commemorates William Vesey, who died in 1644, his two wives and their children. The monument owes its colouration to a group of art students who painted it in the 1960s. Unusual is the altar table > Link and the C17 altar rails > Link are carved with what appears to be putti riding on dragons or sea monsters.
