south doorway is ornate. The arch has three nested orders, the inner one being the doorcase which has no imposts and chip carving on the voussoirs. This is framed by two arches brought forward in turn, and originally resting on columns with scalloped capitals. The column shafts have been lost. The middle arch has roll moulding, and the outer one has zig-zag moulding. The latter is framed by a chip-carved hood mould springing from a pair of stops carved with animals’ heads. Interior The interior is simple, with the walls in white and no stained glass. The floor is in brick. The roof timbers are modern. There is a stoup by the door, a 13th-century piscina in the south wall of the chancel, and an arched aumbry opposite. There is no distinction between nave and chancel, although Francis Blomefield noted a chancel screen when he visited in the 18th century. Medieval pews have survived, with poppyhead ends and tracery cut into the backs. One surviving arm rest shows a shepherd with his dog. The double-decker pulpit is 17th century, with fine carving, and the communion rails are of the same period. Church of All Saints (ruin) History Beachamwell All Saints' Church was built in the 12th century, but stonework found in the ruin indicates that it was remodelled in the 14th and 15th centuries. After the Reformation it seems to have fallen into decay and there is evidence of a fire, but it was restored in 1612 by Thomas Athow, the Lord of the Manor of Well-Hall. His family then used it as a mausoleum. However, it was abandoned again in 1688 when the roof collapsed. The problem allegedly arose when the Athow family sold the manor, for the new Lord declined to accept voluntary responsibility for the upkeep of the whole church (the Lord of the Manor was legally responsible for the chancel only). The church was a ruin by 1721, and Francis Blomefield was indignant about the dereliction when he visited then. There was an excavation in 1867, which recovered the medieval font, which was taken to St Mary's. The last part of the ruin with architectural details was lost in 1989, when the west wall collapsed. In the rubble was found a re-used fragment of a wheel-headed Saxon cross. The ruin is a Grade II listed building. Description The ruin is beyond the end of Old Hall
