Church Of St George

The Church of St George is a parish church located in Little Thetford, primarily built in the late 14th century but mostly rebuilt in the 19th century. It features a combination of fieldstone and limestone rubble, along with dressed limestone, topped by a plain tiled roof with end parapets. The church has a simple layout consisting of a nave and chancel.

The west gable end showcases a 19th-century gabled double bellcote with two two-centred arches, while the west window, also from the 19th century, consists of three trefoil lights. Both the north and south walls of the nave each contain a window with three cinquefoil lights set in ogee arches and square heads. The tracery is made of clunch, and the mullion and architrave are crafted from limestone, which may suggest an earlier restoration.

The north porch, built in the 19th century, is gabled and constructed from brick and rubblestone, featuring a two-centred outer arch with two moulded orders. The east gable of the nave was rebuilt in 1665 using narrow local brick, similar to that found at Manor Farm in Wentworth. The chancel includes two windows in the north wall, each with two cinquefoil lights in a four-centred arch. The restored east window has three cinquefoil lights and an original label with mask stops, while the south wall windows were restored around 1980.

Inside, the church has a 19th-century collar rafter roof and a two-centred chancel arch of two moulded orders, with the inner order resting on engaged colonettes. The font dates from the late 14th to early 15th century, featuring a tapering octagonal limestone bowl adorned with masks on four of its panels. The stem of the font has been extensively restored but retains fragments of blind tracery panels.
