Summary

Description
English: St Ethelbert's church - royal arms by Samuel Yarrington The royal arms are to George IV. The Grade I listed St Ethelbert's church > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1313165 was built on the site of an earlier Saxon church. It has a thatched roof, an unusually small and short tower and a magnificent Norman south doorway. Inside there is a large painting on the north wall depicting St Christopher, dating from the 15th to early 16th century - the north wall tilts peculiarly outwards > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1313171 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1313172. The probably most noteworthy feature of the church is the large collection of stained glass > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1313174 - some of it medieval English > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1313175 - some other originating from Rouen and from Langley Priory > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1313176. The west window > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1313177 contains roundels made by Lowestoft stained glass artist Robert Allen (1745-1835) > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1313178 who was principal decorator and later manager of the Lowestoft Porcelain Manufactory until its closure in 1803. Other works by the artist can be seen in several nave windows as well as in the east window. Much of the remaining glass is continental but some of it is the work of Samuel Yarrington, who also created the church's Royal Arms of George IV (depicted here). The church organ was made by Albert Pease in 1897. The font dates from the 17th century. For more information see: http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/thurton/thurton.htm
