The Chancel - 1270 to 1310
The upper parts of the two windows on the north side of the Chancel contain various fragments of contemporary high quality grisaille glass collected from windows in various parts of the church and reassembled by Mr. King of Norwich 1959.
The Chancel roof of 1305 presents a slightly later and more elegant form of crown post construction each post being octagonal in section and having a moulded base and capital. Some of the timbers were replaced when the Chancel was restored in 1932.
The stone sculptures are worthy of notice. The sculpture on the south side of the Chancel arch represents a dragon biting a lady, while that on the north side shows the curled figure of a man with his right hand held to his ear. Adjacent to the priest's doorway on the north side is the figure of a man holding a leather bottle (a jack). This secular piece of work is an insertion, probably at the time of the Reformation. Sculptured heads support the image brackets on either side of the East Window.
