Oulton St Michael’s church
Oulton St Michael’s church
Not mentioned in Domesday but probably built just after as a cruciform church with a central tower. It still has the Norman doorways north and south, and the tower arch which faces the nave is moulded with chevrons. The chapel, which was south of the tower, was removed last century, the north transept being long gone. Alterations were made to the chancel in the 14th century and to the nave 100 years later. The font is traditional East Anglian style and quite ordinary. Access to the tower is from a door at the height of the tower arch which would suggest that originally it was accessed from the rood-loft. The Royal Arms are of James II and are believed to have come from St Margaret’s, Westminster. Memorial brasses which were once stolen have since been replaced.
