Everyone has heard of Kersey and seen the church on the hill in the background of pictures of the ford which runs across the road. A few of them visit the church. It has a large car park and a lychgate to welcome you. There was a church here in 1086 but today’s edifice is 14th century. The tower with its attractive parapet stage and porch being built a century later. The font is 15th century with quatrefoil decoration. Above, the nave roof has alternating hammerbeams with figures carved into them. In the Sampson chapel the piscina and incorporated triple sedilia are richly carved in great detail. Six panels of the old rood screen with painted figures are in very good condition for their age.
