It clearly has Norman origins and lots of later developments, finally having been &quot;tidied up&quot; by the Victorians. On top of the originally 13th century tower there is a two-tier, 17th century cupola of wood covered with lead. There is a nave (totally Victorianised) and a north aisle which still has it's early roof beams. Strangely the church has two fonts: it's own 14th century one and a Norman font rescued from Ovington which they now use in preference to their own. It is a small delight.<br /> <br /> Shipdham is also interesting because it was clearly quite prosperous in medieval, Tudor and Stuart times. Hence the surprisingly imposing church with a neat walled, picture-book churchyard. The village also had its own brickworks for several hundred years up until around 1820. So as well as the ubiquitous Norfolk flint there are still a number of examples of the local small, pale red bricks as can be seen in the church wall above.</p> Tue, 21 Aug 2012 11:52:54 -0700 2012-08-20T16:51:58-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (kcm76) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/7832907144 52.628595 0.891383 52.628595 0.891383 34645 Flint & Brick <p>Shipdham Church, Norfolk<br /> <br /> All Saints, Shipdham is a rather interesting church.
