MEMORIAL INSCRIPTIONS
PARISH OF SALTHOUSE NORFOLK, Recorded by Walton DEW, c 1885.
The Church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, was built in 1508 by Sir Henry Heydon. It consists on plan of chancel, nave with clerestory, aisles, porches, and a square embattled tower. The chancel contains piscina and sedilia. There is also a piscina at the east end of the south aisle. Several poppy-headed benches and carved tracery remain; a screen, presumably in situ of the Lady Chapel, bears serveral initial letters H, surmounted by what appears to be mitres. The font is sculptured with the evangelistic emblems: Passion, Trinity, &c. Over two of the arches of the nave are carved on shields: . . . . a cross engrailed * . . . . impaling, quarterly, 1st and 4th, . . . a chevron . . . . between three bulls' heads . . . . 2nd and 3rd per pale . . . .
* Heydon, the founder and patron, bore: A cross engrailed, argent and gaules, counterhanged.
