Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: St Michael's church in Ormesby St Michael's church > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1959093 was built from stone and flint in the 13th and 14th centuries. The church benefits from the Town Lands Trust, which consists of land in the parish gifted by Wm Manning, parts of which houses holiday chalets. The income from these has enabled much work to be done on the church. The church has been extensively restored in the 19th century but has retained the original font > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1959192. The most noteworthy features of St Michael's are three stained glass windows made by Henry Holiday (1839-1927) who was originally employed as a glass designer at Powell's and set up his own workshop in 1891. His work was much influenced by Sir Edward Burne Jones. The east window > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1959122 depicts the Madonna and Child. It was selected to feature as the Post Offices 2009 1st Class Christmas stamp > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1959129. The window in the chancel north wall > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1959135 dates from around 1911and depicts Charity. The window in the chancel south wall > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1959148was installed in around 1898 and depicts Faith.
Stone faces can be found on the north wall of the church, one of which is of particular interest since it is believed to be the earliest known representation of a Norfolk Horn sheep > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1959104 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/937072. |
