General notes

St Margaret's church > 1402568 - 1402588 is located only about one kilometre down the road, to the south of St Mary's at Shelton > 1402294. St Margaret's used to have a round tower which collapsed during a storm in the late 18th century and has never been rebuilt. The church is of Norman origins and retains both its original doorways > 1402582 - with a mural depicting St Christopher > 1021158 on the north wall opposite the south door. Beside it there is a Jacobean tester pew, complete with roof and original handle - it was used as the former squire's 17th century family pew > 1021409 but has since been moved to the west wall and is presently used for storage. The C14 octagonal font > 1021177 stands nearby. The church retains its original rood screen > 1402591 with its carved tracery and stencilled panels > 1402595. The chancel houses a 17th century tomb to Sir Edmund Reeve > 1402613 and another to his son and daughter-in-law, Sir Peter and Lady Penelope Gleane (depicted here). A brass nearby commemorates George Bacon, member of an important East Anglian family, whose shield depicts pigs as their symbol > 1402620.
