Summary

Description
English: All Saints church in Snetterton - rood screen. The church of All Saints > 1762865 is situated beside Sallow Lane, adjoining Hall Farm which is the site of World Horse Welfare headquarters > 1762463. After becoming redundant in 1978 it served as a sort-of monastery for several years, with Brother Joseph worshipping in the chancel and sleeping in a caravan in the churchyard. The 14th century tower was restored once the building was in the care of the Norfolk Churches Trust. The chancel dates from the 13th century and piscina as well as sedilia are original. The interior was extensively restored in Victorian times and the east window > 1762894 reconstructed in 1857. It contains stained glass by O'Connor which was installed in 1885. One of the south windows > 1762904 is by Cox, Buckley & Son, dating from 1884. The octagonal font > 1762910 is the original one, dating from the 15th century and is contemporary with the (damaged) rood screen > 1762888 which was restored and repainted in Victorian times. The present pews came from the church of St Gregory in Norwich, after the original ones had been moved to St Michael's in Langley. No trace remains of a nearby second church, dedicated to St Andrew, that was situated in the grounds of Hall Farm.
