Mythical beast
This carving is possibly Norman.
Built between 1136-1156 on the site of an earlier church, this impressive church has Norman arches and stone carvings. As it sits opposite Melbourne Hall, it was never intended as a parish church as the village were buried elsewhere. They were moved here after the Reformation.
The nave dates from the 1630s. These pillars stand at 15ft high and are 4ft in diameter. New stone was inserted into them during restoration in 1860.
