Summary

[edit]
Description
English: St Catherine's church. St Catherine's church > 1356971 - 1356990 is situated some distance away from the village of Fritton at the end of a short bridleway, and is surrounded by fields on all sides. Part of the round tower dates from Norman times as does the north doorway. Inside the church there is its original rood screen > 1356973 dated to 1510-1520. This screen was donated by John Bacon > 1356977 who is depicted with his wife and 14 children on two of the screen panels. The other panels show the four Latin Doctors (St Augustine, St Jerome, St Gregory, St Ambrose > 1356974 - all defaced) and St Simon and St Jude > 1356975 on the south side. Unicorns are carved in two of the spandrels > 1356978. The upper part of the screen was added in the 20th century. The north wall features several murals which were uncovered in 1850. They depict St Christopher (made in 1506 and very faded) and St George > 1356983. Two smaller murals were discovered in 1913, one possibly depicting Archbishop Rich (mid C13) > 1356985 and the other a consecration cross. The octagonal font is 15th century and the lions carved in its stem are possibly the most widely grinning lions in all of East Anglia > 1356991. This church is open every day as are all the churches in the care of the Hempnall Group.
