Parish History[edit | edit source]
MILEHAM (St. John the Baptist), a parish, in the union of Mitford and Launditch, hundred of Launditch, W. division of Norfolk, 11 miles (N. N. E.) from Swaffha. There is a place of worship for Primitive Methodists. [1]
Mileham St John The Baptist is an Ancient parish in the deanery of Brisley and the diocese of Norwich.
The village name suggests a Mill
The Church has mediaeval stained glass.The north tower, which functions as a portal was given by the church’s patron Lord Fitzalan. The churchyard is typical of the country parish church, showing gravestone surrounding the building. A medieval tomb in the churchyard retains the remnants of a cross. The west window showing Catherine (wheel), John the Baptist (lamb) and Margaret (spearing dragon) is a rare extant example of stained glass of the decorated style. The window was also added by Lord Fitzalon. Colors of green, gold, olive, amber, as well as red and blue distinguish the complex canopies and figures. In the lower half of the window fragments of 15th-century glass include images of an unidentified female saint and St. Margaret.
The site of the original Saxon Village is in the field to the east of the church where you can see the remains of the Saxon ponds.
