Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe ruined St Michael's church - geograph.org.uk - 1322474.jpg |
English: The ruined St Michael's church. The fenced-off ruins of St Michael's church > 1322477 are situated on an elevation, surrounded by fields on all sides. Only sections of the nave walls survive, revealing that the building materials used were carstone, stone, brick and fragments of metal working debris. Remains of a C11/C12 arch are now in King's Lynn Museum and the font is in a nearby garden. The church once stood within a now deserted village the exact extent of which is not known.
Several villages are documented to have existed in this area until at least up to the 16th century. It was during that period that the then landowner - Thomas Thursby and his son - evicted their tenants by pulling down their dwellings and depriving them of their commons in order to turn the area into farmland that was converted to sheep pasture in numerous villages (four of which now lost), reminiscent of the Clearances in Scotland. Two churches have survived, albeit as ruins: St Mary's is situated north of the B1145 and St Michael's to the south of the road. This land is private and was accessed with kind permission of the owner. |
