St Michael's church in Hockering - medieval bench ends
St Michael's church > Link - Link dates from the early 14th century and was refurbished by the Victorians in the mid 1800s. The chancel > Link and its arch as well as the rood screen > Link date from that time and not all of the medieval benches have survived either, although some of the old bench ends (some seen here) and poppy heads > Link were re-used on the new stalls. The bowl of the baptismal font > Link is also Victorian but the shaft > Link it rests on is medieval and depicts saints, archangels and Mary holding baby Jesus (all defaced in the 16th century but since restored).

During the summer months the church is open Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
