A great 15th century Perpendicular rebuilding of what must have been a very fine 13th century church, from which the pinnacles at the east end of the chancel survive. The chancel in particular is a delight, with those beautiful windows ranging on the north and south sides. The tower is formidable, a powerful structure telescoping skywards, crowned by 20th century battlements and pinnacles, proud and glorious. The porch is big, but dwarfed by the hugeness of the building against it. The remains of a late medieval statue of St Michael are in the niche above the entrance. All in all, a fitting church for its bold patron Saint, who is recalled by the monograms around the base of the tower. Great Cressingham is about 6 miles S.S.E. of Swaffham.
