St Mary & All Saints' church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2033209 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 > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2033230 and one of only four existing early Norman baptismal fonts > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2033273 with elaborately carved decorations on the square bowl. St Mary & All Saints' houses an interesting collection of C19 stained glass > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2033241 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2033243 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2033254 and a grade II listed civic organ > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2033264 made by Johan Schnetzler of Schaffhausen (Switzerland).
