Another view, three interiors - 1, 2, 3, the pulpit and the font, two examples of the good stained glass in the church - 1, 2, and of the mosaic and tile work - 1, 2.

It was replaced in the late 1820's, and has had alterations and additions since then, most notably with a Byzantine-style mosaic added in the 1880's. All that remains from the original chapel is the font. ST 79984 98402. All © Carole Sage (2016). Link. Grade II listed.

Oxborough, Norfolk, St. John the Evangelist, which sits within the grounds of Oxborough Hall. It sticks in the mind because of the damage caused by the collapse of the spire in 1949, which destroyed the nave, and for the fortuitous survival of the the Bedingfield Chapel, with its remarkable terracotta screen.
