Moor Plantation, Norfolk

Didlington St. Michael's church

Uploader's Comments

I noticed the east wall has started to crumble and is sadly neglected. It is remote, almost a mile from the nearest metalled road and within private grounds. Gargoyles stare down from the tower. Most of the structure is 14th c. with a 13th c. Victorianised chancel and a 15th c. arcade creating the south aisle. In the nave, which has been cleared of the seating, is a Norman font bowl, probably coeval with the chancel, where the services are now held. Over the north door (which has at some time been moved eastwards) is the hatchment. The altar rail, of massive marble balusters, looks completely out of place. A 13th c. trefoil piscina with engaged columns is west of a filled-in arch which may have been a double sedilia, but is most curious.
