SP4862 : Lower Shuckburgh - Saint John The BaptistSP4862 : Lower Shuckburgh ChurchChurch of St John Baptist, 1864 by John CroftPevsner wrote in 1966:
"A rogue-architect (to use Goodhart-Rendel's term) if ever there was one. Neither Lamb nor Teulon nor Keeling have ever built more originally and more larkily ... than Croft did here. Nor is it easy to find much ... to match the sheer ugliness of Croft's tracery... with ... wildly improbable combinations of forms. yet the exterior of the church ... is first of all lively, rich, enterprising,"
SP4862 : Lower Shuckburgh Church "Hexagonal SW tower with spire and six steep gables sticking up into the spire region... The interior knocks you out with the contrast of stone and particularly flaming brick with white joints [photo in the book]. The vaulting ... and the tiles add a pinch of Alhambra."
The nearby vicarage is evidently also by Croft, though "larky only in details".
