All Saints Church (Wisbech)

United Kingdom / England / Emneth / Wisbech
 church, Grade I Listed (UK)

All Saints Church is a Grade I listed church in Walsoken, Norfolk. It is one of the finest churches in East Anglia, crowned by a splendid medieval tower with four turrets and a spire. The massive Norman arcades are rich with zigzag mouldings, and the Chancel arch resting on banded shafts is magnificently carved, the work of craftsmen when the Norman style was passing. On one side is the 15th-century doorway to the old rood loft. There is a grand array of fine woodwork, and nearly all the roof grey with age are richly carved. The nave roof has painted angels and other figures in delicately canopied niches. There are 15th-century screens in both aisles, one with most intricate tracery, stalls with carved heads, battered figures on old benches, and over the tower arch two paintings of the judgement of Solomon with a statue of a king enthroned between them.
