Honington All Saints church The church sits facing the road, as if inviting you to enter. On passing through the 15th c. embattled porch and beneath the niches above the entrance, you come across the richly carved Norman doorway with four engaged columns, one with knops. The archway has three carved orders and carved dripstones. Above the arch, the keystone is also carved but unrecognisable, possibly a face. The chancel arch is also the Norman-built original. The font is the most impressive item to see here, with fine carvings on the eight facets of the bowl, one depicting the crucifixion. The bench-ends (although of meagre quality) have carvings of a monkey, a woman playing bagpipes and a unicorn scratching his back with his horn. A late 16th c. brass depicts George Duke (1594) in Elizabethan dress.
