NHER 1999 (Building record) - St Mary's and All Saints' Church, Sculthorpe

Press cutting in file. Not yet visited. Norman font with Adoration of Magi mentioned in (S1).
R.R. Clarke (NCM).

(S2) (Rye MSS 17 NRO); southwest tower serving as porch with entrance on south; north aisle; chancel collapsed, had had charnel house below; building formerly at the northeast corner - purpose?, crucifix in circular stone with tenon, as if top of cross, used as south threshold. Source (S3) say church built by Sir Robert Knollys temp Henry IV (both references checked by E. Rose (NAU)).

Perpendicular windows removed when aisle rebuilt in 19th century; one is at Thorpeland Hall (NHER 2142 - seen E. Rose (NAU)) and other said to be at Great Ryburgh, though not traced there. However, a local historian, states this was a mistaken story put about by a former verger - the other two windows were reset in the Galilee here. He also says the 'ruined NE building' of (S2) was a vestry, and the threshold cross was removed in the 19th century.

Knollys roof with twenty shields removed in 1812, but recorded by Chitterley. Remains of west tower excavated around 1870.
Information from G. Pooley.

(S4) states that the north aisle was indeed built by Knollys in the 15th century but the tower predates this, and most of what is visible is 19th century.
