St. George's church Methwold The 15th c. spire makes an imposing site set on an octagonal panelled  drum with its pierced parapet. The tower was built a century before the spire was added. At the southeast corner of the nave is a turret for a sanctus bell. A 15th c. arcade supports the four window clerestory. The roof is very interesting with arch-braced tie-beams alternating with hammerbeams and queen posts. The rather plain octagonal font is disappointing, but there is plenty to make up for it including a pillar piscina in the west aisle. A bier dated 1737 stands at the west end of the nave and a 14th c. iron-bound parish chest. Two further chests, one from the 16th c. can also be viewed here. Four redundant bells stand forlornly on the floor nearby. Shockingly every grave has been desecrated to make mowing the grass easier, vandalism by PCC.
