St Mary's Church, Riccall

The oldest part of the church are the three western bays of the nave, which date from the mid- or late-12th century.

Between then and the English Reformation, the nave was heightened, a rood loft added, the aisles were widened, and a porch was built.

[2] The church's most noted feature is the south doorway, built in the 1150s and reset twice, most recently in the 15th century.

It has three orders of arches and its voussoirs are decorated with a variety of Biblical, mythological and everyday scenes.

[4] Inside, there are remains of a brass dedicated to Maud and Robert Kelsey, dating from about 1500, two Baroque wall tablets, and a coat of arms of George III, painted in 1792.
