It really felt like Spring was in the air!
The warm sunlight cascaded into the church illuminating the porch & open door.

Yes, the font is amazing. Such a fine example of #medieval stone carving.
Each side has a #Lion mask and so much other carving.

Two brothers killed on the same day, for this month of remembrance. Robert and Charles Pitcher of the 5th Norfolks both died on 19 April 1917 at the 2nd Battle of Gaza. Their memorial is in Shernborne church, Norfolk. 1/3

Thank you Simon for all the “top tops”!
We managed to get our ☕️ sitting in the sun in Snettisham, before a bit of #churchcrawling.
Yes, the key was as you described in Ingoldisthorpe (for our first visit) & Shernborne was as interesting as before. We were last in the latter apparently in 2019.

Snettisham will be open of course, Ingoldisthorpe has a keyholder to the south of the church, if they're out then the key is hanging in the porch! And neighbouring Shernborne has to my mind one of the very best 12th Century fonts in all East Anglia - also open.
