Description
The Church of St Andrew in Fersfield dates from around 1300, with most of its structure from the 15th century. It features a nave with Perpendicular style north windows, a south aisle that includes a south doorway and a west window from circa 1300, along with notable Perpendicular windows. The chancel has Victorian lancet windows, while the south porch is from the 15th century. There is a small west tower of unknown date, topped with a pyramidal tiled roof and featuring small chamfered bell openings with cusped heads, as well as a Perpendicular west window. The church is constructed from flint rubble with stone dressings and has tiled and lead roofs.
Inside, the south arcade consists of two bays with double chamfered four-centred arches. There is a late 12th century font with a 17th century cover, and the chancel is adorned with 17th century panelling. Notable monuments include a late 15th century effigy of a priest, a wooden effigy of Sir Robert du Bois from 1311, and a ledger-stone commemorating Francis Bloomfield, a Norfolk historian and rector of Fersfield, who died in 1752.
