Great Cressingham St Michael Norfolk
Great Cressingham shouts ‘PERPENDICULAR’ as you walk up from the road, the tower is a lovely example, strong and stately, the W door surmounted by a panel of shields and crowned M’s. The nave and chancel cling to their decorated origins but the aisles are also perpy. This is a splendid church, all three of us were very impressed with it, from the roof there’s a phalanx of angels watching our every move, also a selection of 15th C saints and angels watch from the tracery of the N aisle windows, looking up at us from the floor are a selection of 15th C brasses, including a chubby, cuddly cleric. Naturally the Victorians got in on the act here as well, you might turn your nose up at the stone pulpit but the screen is a reasonable attempt and I liked the collection of candelabras down the benches, it must look enchanting at Christmas, by general agreement the best church of the day.
