Walton St Mary?s church

In the churchyard near the porch are the remains of a buttress of the earlier church. Also constructed mainly out of septaria, is the wall of the chancel, and it is still serving its purpose. A small Norman priest’s door has been blocked up many years. Entry to the church is through the south door of the tower. There is a sketch of the church as it was about 1623. A black and white photograph shows the church without a tower. There is a rare King James Bible securely kept under glass. The font is a traditional East Anglian octagonal bowl but the shaft has two lions, a wodewose and a green man. A small crude brass of a kneeling choirboy is to William Simond and states simply, ‘Born 1601 - Died 1612’. A larger brass is to William and Agnes Tabard. In the tower are eight tubular bells hung in 1919 as a War Memorial.
