Holy Trinity church in Stow Bardolph - Hare Chapel interior
According to legend Sarah Hare (the daughter of Sir Thomas Hare), who died in 1744 when approximately 50 years old, pricked her finger whilst sowing on a Sunday and died of blood poisoning shortly after. In her will she requested that an effigy of her face and hands be made and placed in a Mahogany case, close to where she was buried. The top door of the case, looking like a wardrobe and standing in the north-west corner of the chapel, can be opened to view the effigy. It was made from wax and is the only funerary effigy of its kind outside of Westminster Abbey.

The church of the Holy Trinity > Link is situated in a cul-de-sac, flanked by the old rectory which presently serves as a Preparatory school and Montessori nursery. Church Farm Rare Breeds Centre is a little further down the lane towards where the road ends, bisected by the A10 road. The church is of Norman origins and was extensively restored in the mid-1800s, the architect having been John Raphael Brandon. The church furnishings > Link date from this time but the Charles II (1630-1685) royal arms > Link is described as being one of the finest sets in Norfolk. The most noteworthy feature of the church is the Hare Chapel > Link and the monuments it houses. The chapel was built by John Hare in 1642 as a mausoleum for members of the Hare family. Accessible via a door in the chancel south wall one steps into a light and airy room which houses a number of extraordinary monuments dating from the 17th to the 19th century > Link.
