Holy Trinity, Stow Bardolph - Wall Monument To Thomas Hare
Holy Trinity, Stow Bardolph - Wall Monument
To Thomas Hare
South Runcton St. Andrew's church The church which has an apsidal chancel was built as a chapel in  1838/39 but was later designated a church. It was built in the style of the original Norman structure which stood  here before it. At the west end is a single bell turret below which are two pseudo Norman blind arches flanking a window and below that a Norman style west door.  The chancel arch is reputed to be Norman too but has probably been re-cut as it is very new-looking.  The 19th c. circular font is decorated with blind arcading with a band of roses above and an inscription in Latin. The pulpit is a mid-20th c. model in mahogany. In the chancel is a nice 19th c. window depicting St. Andrew which is flanked by Decalogue panels beneath arches either side. On the wall is a plaque giving the names of those whose monuments were lost in the re-building.
