| All Saints church dates
from mediaeval times when the local weaving industry
was at its height, it is mainly Perpendicular period
architecture. The tower exhibits the feature of the
early part of the Perp period. Since 1370 the Patron
has been the Cambridge College of Conville and Caius,
this association may have attracted gifts towards the
rebuilding of the church. A legacy has been traced to
1383 when Roger de Wilasham left 5 marks for this tower.
So it is likely that many people contributed towards
the cost and improvements were made to the church for
another 100 years after that. There is no evidence of
one great benefactor building the church alone. |
| Only the
lower half of the rood screen survives. It was painted
in 1453 with the 12 Apostles. They were painted over
at the Reformation until a curate of Mattishall Burgh
restored them by rubbing off the paint with a wet finger. |
