Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: St Mary's church. The village of Fishley is mentioned in the Domesday book where it is described as a large and thriving community, rivalling its neighbours of Acle and Upton. No traces of the village remain but it is believed that it was located where wheat is now growing, in a field > 910267 adjoining the church to the northwest.
St Mary's church > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/910289 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/910303 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/910323 is situated at an elevated and isolated position with Fishley Hall Farm > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/910281 being its only neighbour, surrounded by tall trees and fields beyond, just to the north of Acle; a narrow single track road turning off the South Walsham Road > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/910160 leads to a concrete hardstand which can be used for parking. From here onwards this road is private > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/910272. The round tower is believed to date from pre-conquest times; the main doorway is Norman but much of the stonework has been renewed. At some time the church was widened and an extensive restoration took place in 1861, which resulted in the replacement of all church furnishings. Many of the furnishings were paid for by a Miss Edwards to whose memory a brass plate > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/910317 is attached to the lectern. All windows presently contain Victorian glass > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/910306 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/910310. The only remaining wall monument is to Revd. David Thomas Barry who was Rector here for 22 years > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/910313. The church houses an interesting 18th century organ > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/910326 which is hand blown, as the church remains unconnected to mains electricity. A plate affixed to it informs that it was made by Edward John Paston of London in 1781. (This information was taken from a leaflet compiled by W.J. Goode, based on source material from 'East Anglian Round Towers and Their Churches'). The church is kept locked. See also: http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/fishley/fishley.htm |
