Church of St Peter & Paul, Heydon

Printer friendly version >

This beautiful church stands proudly overlooking the village of Heydon. Almost completely rebuilt in the late 15th century, it contains memorials to the Earle and Bulwer families who were residents of the nearby Heydon Hall. The Bulwer family have there own mortuary chapel of 1864 on the north side of the chancel. The beautiful screen, donated in 1480 by John Dynne, whose son Henry built Heydon Hall, retains much origional colour. There is an interesting 15th century pulpit with rare ‘wineglass’ stem, and the mural showing three kings with three skeletons was rediscovered in 1970.
