St Mary & All Saints' church in Sculthorpe - Norman font
St Mary & All Saints' church > Link in Sculthorpe is one of those churches in Norfolk which have the tower on the south wall, rather than on their west end. The tower dates from the early 13th century but much of the church as we see it today was rebuilt by Sir Roger Knollys after the Hundred Years War, in the 15th century. In 1847 the chancel was rebuilt yet again and in 1860 the nave was restored and a south aisle added. The church interior dates mainly from the C19 restoration but a few medieval features have survived such as the brass memorials > Link and one of only four existing early Norman baptismal fonts with elaborately carved decorations on the square bowl. St Mary & All Saints' houses an interesting collection of C19 stained glass > Link - Link - Link and a grade II listed civic organ > Link made by Johan Schnetzler of Schaffhausen (Switzerland).
