All Saints church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1572170 stands beside the B 1077 (Church Road), the main thoroughfare through the village of Shelfanger. The tower has a square chequerwork decoration created by alternating white limestone and flint and it is topped by a red tiled pyramidal roof . Interestingly, the tower is slightly off-centre > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1572157 and not entirely square to the nave walls. The C16 north porch > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1572168 still has the original timber framing with black flint and mortar infill. The oldest feature of the building is a wall painting > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1572177 in the south-eastern corner of the chancel, which was discovered in 1966. The mural has been dated to the mid 13th century. The C14 octagonal font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1572181 was given by Adam Bosville whose initials are carved into the bowl. The stained glass windows > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1572173 date from the time when the church was intensively restored (1876-1897) and were made by Clayton & Bell. All Saints church is open every day.
