The church of St Ethelbert in East Wretham. The church of St Ethelbert > 1404082 with its distinctive saddleback tower was rebuilt in 1865 for the Birch family by the architect George Street and furnishings as well as stained glass > 1758761 date from this time. The only older survival is the Norman south doorway > 1404084. The font was made in 1883 of Corsham stone and the font cover > 1758750 was designed by architect JA Reeve, who based his design upon the medieval one in St Mary's church in Elsing > 890945. The frescoes on the east wall > 1758744 were painted 150 years ago by the then Rector, Revd JP Whalley, who also painted the font cover > 1758751 and the carved reredos > 1758748. What is believed to be an unusual royal arms - it is for Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603) - in stained glass > 1758756 can be found set into a north wall window, hiding behind the organ > 1758754 which is a particularly good example of an early instrument built by James Corps in 1866, and is listed as Grade II in the British Institute of Organ Studies' register for historic pipe organs. The floral decoration on the organ case - executed by Revd JP Whalley - was discovered under a thick coat of blue paint which has since been painstakingly removed.
