St Michael and All Angels, Great Moulton
Open daily dawn to dusk.
The church of St Michael and All Angels is small and quaint. The greater part of what can be seen now dates from the 12th and 15th centuries and two drastic restorations in the 19th century. The tower arch is Norman, as is a great deal of the walling of the nave and chancel. The 15th century porch has a contemporary roof and fine flushwork panelling; there is an interesting green man on one of the spandrels of the arch and niche over the 15th century chancel arch, decorated with masks and floral motifs. The font is octagonal, with the symbols of the evangelists on alternate faces and also dates to the 15th century. The tower, in brick and flint, is a rebuilding of 1887 as was the north nave arcade. There are two sets of Royal Arms, one Stuart and the other dated 1746. Fine Decalogue boards feature paintings of Moses and Aaron. In the churchyard there is a fine table tomb constructed with medieval panels which most likely came from another church.
