Another selection from my Norfolk church photos.
Aylsham, St Michael
One of the largest churches in the county in a bright, open churchyard off the market square with a fine historic lychgate to the north-east. Dated to the 13th/14th century, Pevsner says the interior is older than the exterior. The clerestory windows above the aisles make the nave open & airy.
There is a fine 15th C screen with 16 dado panels and interesting carvings. Depending on who you believe the font is either 15th c. “retooled” in the 19th c. or a completely new 19th c. one from scratch!
The reredos (the screen behind the altar) has incorporated into it some of the upper parts of the rood screen dado and some misericords!
There are a number of interesting brasses and some fine 19th c. stained glass.
The leading 18th c. landscape gardener Humphrey Repton is buried outside the church against the south wall of the chancel.
