Architectural Features

The church of St John the Baptist >http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/923341 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/923351 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/923384 is set back from The Street (B1145) and totally hidden behind tall trees so that it can very easily be overlooked. The existence of a church on this site is documented since Saxon times but the building has been much altered since. The large buttresses on the south side hide reinforced concrete beams, which were inserted to check the ongoing subsidence on this side of the building. Curiously, the tower - added during the 14th century - is located on the north side, so as not to cast its shadow onto the famous west window > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/923387 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/923389 which contains much of its original glass and is dated to about 1340. This window is the largest surviving example of C14 glass in Norfolk. C14 glass can also be found in the south aisle east window > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/923378. Nave and chancel roofs were rebuilt in the 19th century but the priest door retains its Norman shafts and arch, and both aisle roofs > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/923371 are original C15 as are the octagonal font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/923392 and the wineglass pulpit (seen here). The elaborately carved stone coffin lids > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/923396 - found at Mileham Hall and reset by the north and south door - are believed to be older. The modern east window > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/923355 is by Mrs Pippa Blackall AMPG and was inserted in 2004. The church also houses a C16 brass and a number of memorials and ledger slabs > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/923364 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/923368. Due to recent vandalism the church is now kept locked. See also: http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/mileham/mileham.htm
