Church Of St Catherine

The Church of St Catherine is a Grade II* listed building located in Flempton. It consists of a nave, chancel, west tower, south porch, and vestry. The church features flint walls with limestone dressings and a slated roof. The tower was almost completely rebuilt in 1839 in three stages after it collapsed, though the east wall still shows stone weathering from the former thatched nave roof. The tower has two-light belfry openings on all four sides and a first-stage west window.

The nave, chancel, and south porch primarily date from the mid-14th century, while the two-light north chancel window is from the early 14th century. Notable mid-14th century features include a three-light east window in the chancel, a south window in the nave, two-light windows in both the nave and chancel, a south porch with an entrance doorway that has original doors, which have been much restored but still display trefoiled carving at the upper level. The church also has a plain tower arch, an octagonal font with a moulded shaft, a broad pilastered chancel arch with capital and base mouldings, and a two-light piscina in the south chancel wall with net tracery.

The roofs of the porch, nave, and chancel were replaced in 1839 and feature scissor-braced principals with pendant bosses, purlins, boarded soffits, and square panels adorned with rosette and leaf ornament. The vestry, also built in 1839, has a parapet gable. The church contains mid-17th century altar rails and pulpit, and the arms of George III, dated 1763, are displayed on the nave wall. The nave pews, installed in 1839, feature weak poppyheads.
