St Mary, Fishley is a pretty little round-towered church set on a tree-crowded mound among flat fields. The nearest road is about a mile away, although there is a track to it which is just about driveable. There are no houses nearby, but the village of Upton is across the fields, and there is a good view of Upton church about half a mile off.
There is a restrained 15th century crenellation tothe top of the tower, and pretty little lancets and Y tracery windows. It is all very understated. Very unusually for this part of Norfolk, the church is kept locked. This is a pity, but I assume it is for the lack of anyone to make the journey there twice a day to lock and unlock it. There is unlikely to be anything medieval surviving here; even the font is 19th century, although I am told people travel to see the 18th century organ case.
One curiosity. The building has been very Victorianised, all in a neat Norman manner, which can sometimes be depressing, but isn't here. However, Pevsner claims that the south doorway is original.
Open Church on Friday and Monday
Once in a while it is nice to have a nice east cache. This one is a small tube. Please please make sure you replace the lid.
“If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list”
