Church Of All Saints

The Church of All Saints is a large church dating to the 14th and 15th centuries, located on Norwich Road, Dickleburgh. It comprises a nave, north and south aisles, a chancel, a south porch, and a west tower, constructed primarily of flint with stone dressings. The 14th-century west tower lacks buttresses and incorporates a Tudor brick stair turret. The windows are all in the Perpendicular style, featuring depressed two-centred arch heads, with eight clerestory windows on each side. A fine south porch stands out with its flushwork panelling, niches, diagonal buttresses, and embattled parapet. The nave is similarly topped with an embattled parapet, culminating in a stepped east gable. Internally, the church features 14th-century four-bay arcades. A good 15th-century font boasts a polygonal bowl decorated with carved panels depicting the Evangelists and angels, and a stem featuring lions and wild men. A fine carved 15th-century screen remains, with only the base present and traces of old colour. An early 17th-century pulpit is also a feature. A vestry retains its original door, equipped with an iron lock and handle. A monument to Francis Playters, dated 1659 and attributed to Edward Marshall, is a significant feature; it presents a scrolled open segmental pediment supported by columns, containing a carved figure with an inscription below.
