St Mary
Shelton, Norfolk
In a tiny hamlet tucked away among Norfolk's lanes and fields, St Mary's is a church of distinction and beauty.
It looks old and battered with an assortment of windows and the remains of a round tower. But it has character, evident inside and out.
The 15th century rood screen still has some of its original colour. It was repaired in 1661 by churchwardens John Ebbers and Joseph Cock.
There is a faded wall painting of St Christopher on the north wall, and at the west end what was once a private pew is used as a vestry.
