This is the Church at East Harling, down in the south of Norfolk. I ended up stranded here once foggy November day, as the bus back to Norwich did not turn up grrrr. I have to say that the taxi trip was worth it though, as this is a wonderfully atmospheric church. I personally quite like grey winter days, as they lend a certain mysterious and melancholy grandeur to village churches. This one has an amazing and quirky lead spire from the 15th Century, but the real treasure is inside in the form of the East Window .The glass is of the Norwich School of the 15th Century, much like the glass in St Peter Mancroft in Norwich. Unlike St Peter Mancroft however you can stand directly under this glass and read it and just gaze into it and take in all the rich medieval details, piety, artistry and symbolism. |
