caption_attribution_description: English: The church of St Remigius in Hethersett - C18 memorial Memorial to Isaac Motham (d 1704) and his wife, by William Stanton. There are only five churches in England which are dedicated to St Remigius. The church of St Remigius in Hethersett &gt; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1746839 as we see it today dates primarily from the 14th century. The chancel had been in ruins since the Reformation and was rebuilt in 1898 with the nave roof partially reconstructed at the same time, which gives the structure a somewhat unusual profile. The interior was extensively restored in Victorian times and the arcades decorated with scripture and floral motifs &gt; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1746881 but the 14th century font &gt; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1746938 has survived. The church windows &gt; https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1746916 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1746925 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1746928 contain a fine collection of 19th and early 20th century stained glass.
