East Harling

Travel Guide

The church of SS Peter and Paul - view east. The church of SS Peter and Paul > 1702998 was built in the 15th century on the site of an older church. It has a magnificent hammerbeam roof which rises to a height of 45 feet above the floor. The building contains many other medieval survivals such as the panels of the chancel screen > 1703026 - an older screen surrounding the Lady Chapel with intricate carvings in its spandrels > 1703031 - choir stalls in the chancel > 1703049 - remains of a mural and the octagonal font > 1703053. There are also a number of interesting tombs. To members of the Lovell family on either side of the east window. To Anne, only child of Sir Robert Herling, on the north wall of the chancel > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1703037. To Sir Robert Herling (d 1435) at the east end of the south aisle > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1703041. To Sir Thomas Lovell and Dame Alice, his wife, with their crests (a bundle of peacock feathers and a Saracen's head) at their feet > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1703043. The most noteworthy feature of the church, however, is the magnificent east window > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1703014 which was donated to the church by Lady Anne Herling and her second husband, Sir Robert Wingfield, in around 1460. Removed for safety in Cromwell's time, the glass of this notable window was hidden in the attic of the since demolished East Harling Hall. When the manor was sold to Thomas Wright in 1736 he restored the glass to the church. It was removed once again during WWII and replaced and re-leaded in 1947.
