St Mary's church is the other of the four churches which is still in use in the parish of Shotesham, apart from All Saints > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1371772 - in formerly High Shotesham -the other three churches are situated in a part of the village which used to be called Low Shotesham. The church dates from the 13th century but was exentsively restored in the 19th century > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1372499 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1372556 when all the furnishings were renewed and the reredos installed. Until recently the church was without electricity, there was no heating and candles provided the lighting - a generator now provides both. The octagonal font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1372562 dates from the 15th century and there are fragments of medieval glass in the east window of the north chapel > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1372532. The clock bell > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1372548 beside the pulpit was cast in 1675 by Edward Tooke. The royal arms > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1372573 are to William IV and dated to 1834. St Mary's church is kept locked.
