NHER 8500 (Building record) - All Saints' Church, Salhouse

23 February 1978. Visit by E. Rose (NAU).
Unusual north arcade, probably Decorated style (seen through windows) and corbels for north aisle roof of same date.
Simple pointed north door. Unfinished west tower; (S1) is probably right in considering it part of a plan to demolish north aisle and widen church, as wide arch or window to east, now boarded up, is cut by thatched nave roof. Also northeast tower buttress ends ungainly in aisle west wall. Top of tower never built. Nave and chancel exterior with south porch all Victorian, except for lower parts of brick south priest's door: north and chancel windows in Y-tracery style, southwest windows cusped Y-tracery, southeast windows in Decorated style, but how far do these copy original work?
Interior inaccessible at time of visit. (S1) mentions octagonal font from Woodbastwick, Perpendicular and early Renaissance pulpit, poppyhead benches, stall, hourglass stand.
