St Medardus and St Gildardus Church, Little Bytham

[4] The village fête is held annually on or near St Medard's feast day, 8 June.

The earliest parts of the building are some Anglo-Saxon "long-and-short" stonework, visible externally at the southeast and southwest corners (quoins) of the nave.

The church also has several Romanesque details dating from the Norman era, including a Priest's Door ("uncommonly ornate", according to Nikolaus Pevsner) with a finely carved tympanum; the empty circular niche in the tympanum is said to have held a relic; the birds in roundels to either side are probably eagles, as one is legendarily supposed to have sheltered Medard from the rain.

[6] A finely sculpted capital depicting a Green Man surrounded by oak leaves, similar to examples at nearby Kirkby Underwood[6] and Greatford, also dates from c.1300.

[7] The stone base of the pulpit is dated 1590, and has a Latin inscription Orate et parate ("Pray and prepare").

The circular niche above the Priest's Door may once have held a relic [ 6 ] of St Medard. Anglo-Saxon long-and-short stonework is visible in the corner to the left.
