Description

The Church of St Michael and All Angels, a Grade II* listed parish church located in Reepham, is primarily from the 14th and 15th centuries. It features a flint construction with stone quoins and has brick and flint additions. The roof is made of slate and plain tiles. The church includes a tower, nave, a modern lavatory extension to the north, a south porch, a south vestry, a chancel, and a passage that connects to St Mary's Church.

The tower is built in the Perpendicular style and consists of two stages, featuring a flushwork embattled parapet with crocketted finials, a flushwork base, diagonal buttresses, and a southeastern stair projection. The west window is also in the Perpendicular style, and there are curvilinear bell openings. The nave has five bays, with the westernmost bay blocked and featuring timber 'T' tracery. The windows, which have curvilinear tracery, are set between stepped buttresses, some of which on the north side include cusped panels.

The south porch has a rebuilt parapet and a 15th-century doorway with diagonal buttresses. The southeast vestry, likely from the early 19th century, contains a Gothick window. The heavily restored chancel features two square-headed Perpendicular style windows. A red brick link to St Mary's Church includes a two-centred arched window with timber 'Y' tracery. Inside, the church has an arch-braced roof with arrised planks between the rafters, and at the wall plate level, there is a timber modillion cornice. Above this are arch-headed panels between the ashlar struts, possibly from the 17th century.

The nave features a blank aroading from the 14th century, with continuous moulding through the pier and arch. The chancel arch and tower arch include corbel brackets shaped like capitals. A west gallery supported by four medieval-style columns, with bases and capitals from 1834, adds to the interior. Notable furnishings include a fine Jacobean pulpit with a tester and a lectern featuring scrolled brackets and pendant fruit, which were restored in 1893.
