NHER 7296 (Building record) - SS Peter and Paul's Church, Wendling

Decorated chancel with priest's door with foliate corbels. Southeast window lowered to form sedilia, with petalled piscina in raised portion of base, not separate. No north windows in chancel. Perpendicular nave (though windows still contain Decorated elements) and south chapel. Chancel and chapel arches are slightly ogee, latter does not have pilasters. Perpendicular tower with flushwork and transomed west window, and newel stair with cusped hole to nave. Multi-chamfered tower arch. Gargoyles. Norman stone head reset over south door in porch. North door has hoodmould partly covered by a buttress. Lower rood stair. Badly carved octagonal font. Some old woodwork in some stalls.
(S1) claims parts of the screen are original but if so they are hard to find.
17th century floor tombs. Fragment of old stone pilaster on window sill. Royal arms George III 1824, in very poor condition. Roof 19th century but northeast corbel could be old.
Chancel windows have Victorian stained glass more suited to a suburban front door, also a mosaic reredos.
Chalice and paten (Norwich) 1567.
Church is in extremely bad condition but vicar says roof has been repaired and restoration is to start soon.
