LADY CHAPEL ALTAR
The south aisle has a Lady Chapel altar dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary with memorials to Fleet villagers who served and died in Two World Wars, with the banner of the Royal British Legion. On the wall is an aumbry holding the sacraments blessed and ready for use.
Children’s Corner
A fairly recent addition to the facilities in the Church, paid for with a donation from Mary Bass Charity. The church also houses an area of second-hand books that may be borrowed or bought by visitors (a common way of raising much-needed funds in many churches in the 21st century).
FONT
Entering by the Decorated (14th century) South Porch, note the Font, symbol of entry into the Church by baptism. Octagonal, in Perpendicular style (15th century), its simple panels betray a more exotic past in scraps of colour still adhering to the stone despite the determined efforts of reformers to scrape away every vestige of decoration.
PATHS
Paths to the church are seen to avoid the doors. In early times, it was thought the devil travelled only in straight lines; thus, he would be unable to enter the church. Ugly beasts on corbels reminded people of the horrors of Hell.
BASALT SLAB
The incomplete black basalt slab by the door was moved from the north side of the church. Its Norman French inscription translates: “Richard Attegrene and his wife Agnes Pray for their souls 80 days” The brass was removed from this also.
IMP
Between two windows on the north wall is the Fleet Imp, far more impious than his cousin at Lincoln.
LIST OF RECTORS
On the north wall, a list of Fleet incumbents begins with William Winchecumbe, undated. The priest was among the possessions gifted to Castle Acre when Joscelin of Fleet confirmed his father’s gift of the church to the priory in the early 12th century. Note the rough texture of the wall of the north aisle and hints of herringbone above faint outlines of earlier arches.
This has not been updated since 1985, although since that date, there have been a number of incumbents or priests in charge, as well as a lengthy period without a priest. Names of Churchwardens have been listed when there has been no Rector in the years up to 1985.
PRIESTLY ENTRANCE
The exterior walls of the church reveal as much alteration as the interior; on the south wall, a blocked doorway in a buttress was once a priestly entrance to the side chapel.
PULPIT
A ‘wineglass’ pulpit with sounding board.
REBUILT WINDOW
An abrupt break in the dripstone / hoodrnould over the window signals rebuilding.
SEDALIA & PISCINE
On the south wall are three Decorated sedalia (seating for priests) and a piscine (basin), with steep trifoiled ogee arches and heaves crocketed gables (Pevsner). These resemble the empty niche outside, on the southeastern buttress of the building. Buttresses strengthened walls when windows were enlarged for better light.
ALTAR WINDOW
The altar is raised on stone flagging, three steps above the chancel floor. Above it, the Victorian east window contains 20th century stained glass celebrating the coronation of King George VI in 1937. The Madonna and Child occupy one Panel, Christ in Majesty the other. Above are smaller panels depicting the appearance of the risen Christ to Mary Magdalene on the first Easter Day.
ROYAL ARMS
Above the door, the Royal Arms of William of Orange (William Ill) dated 1698, with the names of Churchwardens William Jay and John Fisher. Churchwardens have played an essential part in Fleet history, saving the church from the more extreme vagaries of official bureaucracy and maintaining services in bleak periods of sequestration.
BLACK SLAB
Beneath the carpet is a black slab incised with the image of a priest and a small dog at his feet. Lead-filled dovetail holes show where brass originally covered it.
ORGAN
The organ replaced a barrel organ of about 1795 by Edw and Jno Pistor, now In the Royal Pump Room museum at Harrogate. Formerly, the organ was at the west end. The 1881 Inventory stated: “one small organ with pedals to pull down the last octave of the great organ”. Built by Bryceson & Morten of London, possibly to a design of Dr S.S. Wesley for use at a Gloucester festival, the organ was installed in 1875, worked by bellows until electrification. Daisy Twell was organist from 1959 for many years. In more recent times, Peter Graper has been the organist for several years in the 21st century.

MEMORIAL BOOK & PRAYER AREA
In this aisle can be found the Memorial Book and an area for prayer with candles to light and prayer request cards.
Before returning to the Entrance, visitors can find an excellent selection of recycled cards.
CHANCEL WALL
On the northeast chancel wall, a corner a broken stringcourse shows rebuilding of this and of the church.
CHANCEL
The walls of the chancel were brought in with the removal of the side chapels. Pevsner wrote: “The North chancel windows, if representing those of the North chapel are interesting. Two have mullions up into the arch, but above the pointed-trefoiled lights, round trefoils”. Bond describes them as having dropped tracery and Tudor arches. A radiator hides the remains of a slender pier respond.
CHOIR STALLS
The beautifully carved oak choir stalls were the gift of Canon James, who restored much of the chancel. An inscription on the altar rail reads “in Memory of Canon James Rector 1874-1910”. These Rails and the Clock were given by Parishioners 1912′. The raised wooden floor and pine pews in the nave do not appear in 19th century inventories. The endurance of worshipers who knelt on stone flags is to be wondered at.
FIGURES
The unusual musical figures among the eight corbels supporting the hammerbeam roof, described by Pevsner as “exceedingly fine busts of great variety.” All Souls’ Day was also their legacy to the future, as was the victorious First Crusade, preached by a Cluniac Pope in 1095. Discoloured patches underfoot may be all that remain of Cluniac ornament and statuary burnt in a frenzy of destruction inside the building. Once “the conscience of Christendom”, the Cluniacs became despised for their riches and aloofness, answering only to the Pope.
MEMORIALS
North wall memorials include one to the wife of Rev Dods, who died in her 21st year, and Lt John Hutchinson, Rector’s son killed in active service in Libya in 1942, ‘the saddest news… ever received,’ his memorial designed by Sir Charles Nicholson ARIBA In 1943.
WINDOW
Behind the font, the great five-light west window, also Perpendicular, its delicate tints a tribute to the Rector’s wife, Annie James, in whose memory parishioners and friends restored the nave in 1898, recorded on a brass plaque. Beneath the window, a rough-hewn stone altar table, unfinished. Beside it, a century armorial headstone from the churchyard recording in verse Surgeon Johnson of the Bull. Nearby is the “defaced miniature effigy of a 14th century Civilian” (Pevsner).
Beneath the West window is one of Fleet's treasures, an extremely rare, pre- Reformation mensa altar It escaped the ravages of Cromwell's reformers, when so many altars were broken and the pieces laid in the porches of churches, forcing the congregants to tramp over the holy stones. Although the five consecration crosses have been scratched away, they are just visible (as confirmed by Dr Avril Lumley, Prior.)This stone could even have been in the Templar preceptory. Suffice to say, it is one of the oldest parts of the Church.
THE 19-ARMED SPIRAL
The exterior walls of the Church reveal sequences of alteration where additions were made to the original building, on the south pall a blocked doorway in a buttress was once the priest's door into a side chapel. Abrupt alterations in string courses, dripstones and hood moulds all indicate rebuilding. On the West wall, high on a buttress, is another of Fleet's
treasures, a 19-armed spiral carved by an unknown mason in the 1100's. It symbolises the wheel of life, perpetually turning, as it has done for almost a thousand years.
CHANDELIER
Look up and admire the resilience of the brass chandelier. Said to be of Flemish design, inscribed “ The Revd. James Ashley. Rector Geo. Savage and Jno Ashfield, churchwardens 1796”, thrown out in 1863 and left in pieces on a rubbish heap, it was found and rehung in the chancel in 1874. When electricity came in 1945, it was removed as obsolete, only to be adapted and re-hung yet again in 1964. From this point, note the drunken angels of the 13th century nave piers due to marshy soil and earth tremors. Note also the large mortar gaps on the lower part of the piers compared with the finer spaces near the capitals at the top. This shows the inexpertness of Early English masons learning new skills before 14th century craftsmen of the Decorated era raised the piers for processions with banners and other ceremonial paraphernalia much loved by the Cluniacs. Scraps of pigment remain, despite the almost total defacement of dressed surfaces. Doorways were altered and enlarged on the south and north walls.
CORBEL & ARMS
Note the corner left of the east window of the north aisle; a redundant double-corbel indicates the sturdy structure of the former north side chapel. In the window are the 14th century arms of Henry of Bolingbroke, Earl of Lancaster, son of John of Gaunt (b1366), used until 1399, when he became the first Lancastrian King of England as Henry IV and a subject for Shakespeare. Grooves and ridges show the position of a former rood loft, approached by circular stairs near the organ.
FORMER FITMENTS & FURNISHINGS
Approaching the chancel, more signs of alterations appear. Pevsner described the responds of the chancel arch as Early English, heightened like the nave piers to suit Decorated requirements. Roughly patched holes indicate former fitments and furnishings.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS
The Stations of the Cross can be seen hanging on all the main pillars – these beautiful stone depictions of Christ’s journey to the cross were a gift from a previous Vicar of the Church, Revd Adrian Mason. Each year, on Good Friday, a service is held where members of the congregation contemplate each picture with words and music.
TOWER & BELFRY
Outside, a few yards from the porch, is the separate tower with belfry and spire, total height 112′, all Decorated. Corbel tables, adorned with paired figures, are at the top of the tower, reached by a spiral staircase. The stone above the ground floor is softer than that below, suggesting a rebuilding at some time. Originally, there were six bells. Wear and tear, not to mention the depredations of pigeons, forced replacement and repair. The bells were removed in 1999 for refurbishment and a new bell was cast: Big Tom, in memory of churchwarden Thomas Twell. The bells were rehung in 2000, but in recent years are usually only rung for weddings. Masons’ marks may be seen near the door at the top of the tower. This opens onto a parapeted path around the base of the Spire, which has small inset quatrefoil lights, popular in the middle century. The steeple was repaired in recent years after becoming dangerous. There is a view of the Victorian rectory considered ‘forbidding’ by Pevsner. Designed by Ferrey in 1864, the brick and slate fully cellared building has over 20 rooms and replaced thatched and timbered buildings recorded from 1606. A new rectory was built in the seventies, next to Monks’ Green field, probably a reference to the Cluniacs.
WILLIAM JAY MEMORIAL
A wifely memorial mourns William Jay; the family tree of the Jays and Parkes is on the windowsill. Hidden by the choir stalls is a black floor slab recording family members.
ORNAMENTAL FRIEZE
High on the south chancel wall a corroded ornamental frieze recalls the icing-cake art of the Decorated period, in keeping with the piscina, sedalia, and corner niche in the buttress, long emptied of its saintly figure.
CHANCEL WALL
On the northeast chancel wall, a corner a broken stringcourse shows rebuilding of this and of the church.

This shows the inexpertness of Early English masons learning new skills before 14th century craftsmen of the Decorated era raised the piers for processions with banners and other ceremonial paraphernalia much loved by the Cluniacs. Scraps of pigment remain, despite the almost total defacement of dressed surfaces. Doorways were altered and enlarged on the south and north walls.
CORBEL & ARMS
Note the corner left of the east window of the north aisle; a redundant double-corbel indicates the sturdy structure of the former north side chapel. In the window are the 14th century arms of Henry of Bolingbroke, Earl of Lancaster, son of John of Gaunt (b1366), used until 1399, when he became the first Lancastrian King of England as Henry IV and a subject for Shakespeare. Grooves and ridges show the position of a former rood loft, approached by circular stairs near the organ.
FORMER FITMENTS & FURNISHINGS
Approaching the chancel, more signs of alterations appear. Pevsner described the responds of the chancel arch as Early English, heightened like the nave piers to suit Decorated requirements. Roughly patched holes indicate former fitments and furnishings.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS
The Stations of the Cross can be seen hanging on all the main pillars – these beautiful stone depictions of Christ’s journey to the cross were a gift from a previous Vicar of the Church, Revd Adrian Mason. Each year, on Good Friday, a service is held where members of the congregation contemplate each picture with words and music.
TOWER & BELFRY
Outside, a few yards from the porch, is the separate tower with belfry and spire, total height 112′, all Decorated. Corbel tables, adorned with paired figures, are at the top of the tower, reached by a spiral staircase. The stone above the ground floor is softer than that below, suggesting a rebuilding at some time. Originally, there were six bells. Wear and tear, not to mention the depredations of pigeons, forced replacement and repair. The bells were removed in 1999 for refurbishment and a new bell was cast: Big Tom, in memory of churchwarden Thomas Twell. The bells were rehung in 2000, but in recent years are usually only rung for weddings. Masons’ marks may be seen near the door at the top of the tower. This opens onto a parapeted path around the base of the Spire, which has small inset quatrefoil lights, popular in the middle century. The steeple was repaired in recent years after becoming dangerous. There is a view of the Victorian rectory considered ‘forbidding’ by Pevsner. Designed by Ferrey in 1864, the brick and slate fully cellared building has over 20 rooms and replaced thatched and timbered buildings recorded from 1606. A new rectory was built in the seventies, next to Monks’ Green field, probably a reference to the Cluniacs.
WILLIAM JAY MEMORIAL
A wifely memorial mourns William Jay; the family tree of the Jays and Parkes is on the windowsill. Hidden by the choir stalls is a black floor slab recording family members.
ORNAMENTAL FRIEZE
High on the south chancel wall a corroded ornamental frieze recalls the icing-cake art of the Decorated period, in keeping with the piscina, sedalia, and corner niche in the buttress, long emptied of its saintly figure.
