All Saints Church - C15 baptismal font

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: All Saints Church - C15 baptismal font. All Saints' octagonal tower > 850528 with a door in its middle stage dates from the 14th century; it is believed that the tower was higher before the Reformation, and that Sir Thomas de Hauville - the then Lord of the Manor, and Keeper of the King's Hawks - used to watch his charges from its height. The church > 850526 - 850535 - 850540 was extensively restored in the 19th century (by architect Frederick Preedy) and the pulpit as well as the tiny organ > 850537 date from this time. Older survivals are some C15 poppyheads affixed to benches in the north aisle > 850536 and the octagonal C15 font (seen here). A plaque on the south nave wall commemorates William Newman, a poor boy raised by the parish, who later made his fortune in London and willed some of it to the poor of the parish on his death > 850546. There are some C18 ledger slabs on the chancel floor > 850539. The church is open every day. For more information see: http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/kettlestone/kettlestone.htm
