Beschreibung:

St Clement's church - the east end of the nave. St Clement's used to be a cruciform church but its transepts and aisles no longer exist, and its central (basically Norman) tower was shortened and capped with a wood and lead bell-cupola in the 17th century > 865925. For some time the passage under the tower > 865940 - the former crossing - was blocked, the nave serving as a church whilst the chancel was used as a school room. The decalogue boards are still in place above the tower arch (seen here). There is an early C15 wall painting depicting St Christopher > 865943 on the north wall; it is barely one metre wide and one of the smallest examples of the subject in England. The font > 865948 is Norman. In the chancel there is a set of deeply splayed lancet windows > 865933. Since the chancel can hardly been seen from the nave, because of earlier alterations, there now is an altar at the east end of the nave (seen here). The Royal Arms above the south doorway are to King George III > 865950. The church is open every day. For more information see: http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/burnhamovery/burnhamovery.htm
