Wimbotsham St. Mary's church
The Norman north and south doorways are indicative of the time this lovely church was built. Nave and chancel are of carstone with a mix of limestone, giving it the appearance of a nutty gingerbread cake. The south doorway has two pairs of decorated engaged shafts, and the north one pair. The Victorian apsidal end of the chancel has a splendid corbel-table at the eaves which appears to be original. In the nave is a round Victorian font, and stone pulpit. A nice angle piscina and the rood loft stairs have been retained after much interior restoration, which included the construction of the apsidal end to the chancel already mentioned. A 19th c. mensa slab sits on six ornate columns. The lovely bench-ends are the icing on the cake, carved with strange animals and the occasional human figure.
