Norfolk Grandeur - A visit to Salle church

I take you on a tour of Salle church in Norfolk, one of the grandest churches in the county. The church was built in the first half of the fifteenth century and its grandeur is a result of the great wealth of English merchant trade in this period. The church has many interesting features from that period, including lots of monumental brasses, including the great grandparents of Queen Anne Boleyn. There is a grand west entrance with figures of censing angels, choir stalls with misericords, a towering font cover, a painted rood screen, painted roofs, and a vaulted chamber over the porch. So there are lots to see in this very memorable building.

What a wonder! It has brought to life for me Dorothy L. Sayers' book, The Nine Tailors, which I often read at the New Year. Many thanks to you and Simeon.

Gosh, what a beauty.

Thank you for that wonderful tour of an amazing church. Those carvings on the choir stalls deserve a video all to themselves. I loved the angels in the vaulted roof, and especially the rood screen decorations of the Doctors of the Church - I am currently learning about the very early history of the Church so that was a bonus. The ancestor of Anne Boleyn would surely have turned under that stone if he had known what would happen.

This is one of my favorites. I would love to see a reenactment of a mass in one of these magnificent buildings.

Would love to go back in time to see a mass in this church

Thanks for the tour of this magnificent church with many fascinating medieval elements surviving. I really got a sense of the atmosphere which is great as I have little hope of seeing it in person at present.
