Dist:0.4km<br/>The walls of Shottisham church are a mixture of mortar, flint and other stones, ancient bricks and pieces of tile. The new corner stones on the buttress represent repairs made in 2006.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking very pleasant from a distance, as you near this church you notice the tower is suffering from the weather. It has stood here for 500 or more years, the old roof-line on the east side can be seen quite clearly. The nave roof at one time was much higher pitched, and almost certainly thatched. The present roof dates from the 14th century. The pier arcade which appears to be 13th century was actually built in 1847. Nothing in this over-restored church is as it seems. Even the lovely old 13th century octagonal Purbeck font bowl has not been overlooked, with eight modern multi-coloured marble columns around the base. The rood loft stairs are still open, top and bottom; beneath them is a small piscina. The simple piscina in the chancel has been restored and is adjacent to the dropped sill sedilia.
