The church of St Andrew in Illington. St Andrew's church > 1758770 has been redundant for almost three decades, ever since the building had been declared too dangerous for use and regular services ceased with a baptism that took place in 1983. The church sits on a slight elevation to the north of Illington Road, on the grounds of Hall Farm, and is adjoined by farm buildings in the west and by fields on all other sides. Only a grassed-over farm track, serving as a public footpath, leads to it > 1758780. When the church was declared redundant the Redundant Churches Fund declined to accept and it took until 1997 for the Norfolk Churches Trust to be able to lease the church and to carry out essential repairs and two services per year are once again being held here. The tower dates from the 14th century. The nave is believed to be older - it has several Norman windows and the arches in the south nave wall > 1758806 - one above the doorway and another around a window - are evidence of the building once having had a south aisle. The baptismal font > 1758824 is believed to date from the 14th century. It was repaired and a text was carved around the top of the bowl at some later time. Pews, pulpit and roof are Victorian. A carved head corbel > 1758814 and a niche in the south east nave are medieval and mark the location of a medieval side altar. The only stained glass in this church is in the east window tracery lights > 1758811 where two St Andrew's crosses can be seen depicted.
