Background
Architecture
Inside the church are 14th-century four-bay arcades with octagonal piers. There are piscinae in the south aisle and the chancel. Also in the south aisle is a medieval altar slab. The octagonal font dates from the 14th century with a 17th-century cover. The organ was built in 1786 by Samuel Green of London for Huntingfield Hall, Norfolk. It was moved into the church in 1883. Repairs were undertaken in 1892 by Norman and Beard. In 1940 the organ was moved to its present position from the south wall of the chancel. It was granted a Historic Organ Certificate in 1999, and plans are in hand for it to be restored.
