Depicting a musician playing an instrument that resembles a mandolin. Wickmere is a hamlet with a population of approximately 100 people. St Andrew's church is located some distance away, standing on its own, surrounded by fields > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/781788. The top of the round tower with its 14th century bell windows was added during the 20th century. The other church in this parish used to be St Margaret's at Wolterton Park, of which only the ruined tower remains > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/777940. When St Margaret's church was torn down the Walpoles of Wolterton Hall adopted St Andrew's church and some of its furnishings were moved to there, such as some of the rood screen panels > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/781813, which are presently fixed to the 1930s pulpit > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/781810, believed to depict the donors. St Andrew's church also houses a monument to Baron Walpole, 5th Earl of Orford (d.1935) and ancestor of Sir Robert Walpole > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/781804. The church is kept locked.
