Beskrivning:

The church of St Andrew, Thelveton. St Andrew's church is situated at a picturesque spot of the Thelveton Estate, bordered by fields and a cattle pasture. Boudica's Way long distance footpath > 1764759 leads past the churchyard. The building - an estate church rather than a parish church - is of Norman origins but has been extensively restored by the Mann family, Lords of the Manor, from the late 1800s onwards. The tower collapsed in 1757 and has not been replaced, the furnishings date from the C19 restoration and the marble reredos > 1764847 with mosaic inlay dates from that time. The chancel also houses a wall memorial to Thomas Mann (1886) > 1764859 which was made by C Stoatt. The Mann family owns the estate to this day. The east window > 1764855 was presented in 1899 in memory of Thomas Mann and his wife. The stained glass windows > 1764864 are of very good quality, unfortunately noboby could tell me who made them. The octagonal font > 1764872 is C15 and a large royal arms for Charles I (1620s) > 1764874 hangs above the south doorway.
