St Michael and All Angels (Barton Turf)
St Michael and All Angels is the parish church of Barton Turf in Norfolk , England . It is located around one kilometer southwest of the village within a tree plantation.
Construction and equipment
The church in Perpendicular Style , which is rather insignificant as a building, has a west tower. It is best known for the 12 panels of its late Gothic choir screen , which in terms of quality are only inferior to that of St Helen's church in Ranworth. The twelve Flemish-influenced panels, probably from the period between 1440 and 1450, represent Saint Apollonia , Saint Zita , Saint Barbara and the nine orders of angels (the representations of the Lords and the Seraphim are probably because of the representations of "papist" symbols ( Tiara and censer ) was scratched in the English Civil War ). In the south nave there are later representations (probably around 1490) of King Henry VI. as well as Saint Edmund , Edward the Confessor and Saint Olaf .
The church houses a small organ that was built in 1835 by the organ builder Bates. The single-manual instrument has 5 stops (C – g 3 : Open Diapason 8 ′, Clarabella 8 ′, Stopt Diapason Bass 8 ′, Principal 4 ′, Flute 4 ′).
