Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The church of St Wandregesilius - chancel and south transept This is the burnt-out shell of the church of St Wandregesilius > 1370722 - a dedication which is unique in England. It is situated at the end of a track > 1370665 which turns off the busy B1332 (Norwich Road). The church was almost completely rebuilt in the second half of the 19th century. Arthur Mee writes of the churchyard as being brightened by clumps of gold in daffodil time. He describes a simple screen with tracery above bays open to the floor and memorials to the Wards, one of Bixley's old families, and he mentions an Elizabethan monument depicting a sculptured group in prayer. All this went up in smoke in May 2004, when the church was destroyed by a fire > 1370745 which, so it is believed, was perhaps started deliberately. A few years have passed since Simon Knott of the Norfolk Churches website > http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/bixley/bixley.htm visited the church - the churchyard > 1370710 is much more overgrown now but everything else remains more or less untouched. The latest news is that there are plans for rebuilding this church. |
