St Theobald

Coltishall

Norfolk

Church dating to the C11 with later Medieval additions, ruinated in the C19.

Architectural Features

MATERIALS: flint, both knapped and rubble, with dressings of ferruginous conglomerate and reused Roman brick in the voussoirs.

PLAN: the church consists of a nave with C11 north and west walls, an C11 chancel extended probably in the C13, a C12 round west tower, a C14 south aisle,

a porch probably dating to the C15.

The roofless two-bay nave has large conglomerate quoins and, on the north side, a large shallow-arched window opening followed by a door with stone quoins and C16 brick voussoirs.

On the west wall a fragment of early C13 dogtooth moulding has been incorporated into the masonry and may have been part of the St Theobald shrine.

The aisle has two simple lancet windows with internal dressings of medieval brick.

On the left of the south door is the remains of the holy water stoup which incorporates Roman brick.

There is a C13 single lancet on the south wall and a blocked lancet on the north wall.
