Given the comments last time about Stoke Ferry church, south-west Norfolk, and given the evidence of its building fabric from the last photo, the west door (see above) must surely be an import from an earlier church, possibly one that stood on the same site. The stonework appears to be genuine medieval work of the 14th or 15th centuries (see the continuous mouldings, no capitals), also the high quality cusping and the ‘saint’s niche’. The detailing on the openings also seems to be very fine, the colour will not be original but acts as a reminder that medieval churches were often places of colour and dramatic paintings on the walls of the interior, only rarely have examples survived to the present day. Conservators have the skills and materials to restore medieval wall paintings once revealed.
