Summary

[edit]
Description
English: St Agnes' church - C15 baptismal font. St Agnes' church > 871533 is a large building which is probably best viewed from a distance > 871520. The church was built by the de la Poles during the 15th century. Inside, the nave has a largely unrestored hammerbeam roof retaining traces of its original colour; each post supports a large carved standing angel with outspread wings and more angels line the cornice and the apex > 871536. The tall C16 rood screen > 871539 - 871541 - believed to have been painted by at least three different Flemish artists - has 16 panels depicting saints, with four additional panels depicting St Jerome, St Ambrose, St Augustine and St Gregory, forming the screen doors > 871544. Above the chancel arch the red background to the former rood can still be seen, the location of the cross outlined in white. In the south transept there is a C15 wall painting of St Agnes > 871546. Fragments of C15 Norwich School stained glass are set into one of the windows > 871560. The pulpit is C15 as is the font (seen here). There are several misericords > 871557 in the chancel, the benches have poppyheads and some carved figures > 871549 - 871552 - 871554. The church is open every day.
