Summary
| Description |
English: St Mary's church - altar chest. St Mary's church > 1269098 - 1269159 - 1269163 is located at the end of the large village green. It has a thatched roof and its round tower > 1269095 dates from the early 11the century and is believed to be one of the earliest in Norfolk which is topped by an early 15th century octagonal bell stage. Inside, the bell window is off-centre. The interior was restored during Victorian times but two old brasses have survived. The pulpit > 1269184 is Jacobean. There is also an interesting altar chest (seen here) in the south aisle which was made by J. Bramah & Son, London, and is dated to 1835. The perhaps most interesting feature contained in this church are two pieces of graffiti (protected behind perspex) believed to have been made by a mason on blocks of stone which around 1340 were built into the south wall so that the south aisle > 1269165 could be added. The depiction of a devil > 1269196 is described by archaeologists as among the best in the country. For more information see http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/beachamwellmary/beachamwellmary.htm |
