About St Andrew, Themelthorpe

The village Church is a fine example of the Early English period which has been well preserved and where subsequent changes have been minimal leaving 13^th century features to predominate.  The Nave and Chancel walls are continuous with no Chancel Arch nor Screen.  The unbuttressed West tower is typical of the 13^th century having extremely thick walls leaving little room inside.  Herringbone flintwork in the walls is associated with work done before the Norman conquest.  Last restored in 1975, the pantile roof has a more shallow pitch than the earlier thatched roof as evidenced by the line on the Tower.
