Rood screen

The 12 apostles, an unidentified female saint and a bishop are lined up in this rood screen ( c 1500) originally dedicated to John de Norton and his wife, Margaret. All the faces have been scratched out and the paintwork is in poor condition, various attempts at restoration with unsuitable materials having done some damage to add to the deliberate defacement of the iconoclasts. All Saints' church, Marsham, Norfolk.
