St Mary's Church, Elsing, Medieval parish church in Elsing, England
The church features flint construction with stone dressings, displaying a wide nave without pillars and curved tracery in its windows.
Built around 1330 by Sir Hugh de Hastings and his wife Margaret, the structure replaced an earlier church mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.
The interior houses England's largest church brass monument, dedicated to Sir Hugh Hastings following his death in 1347.
The church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors as part of a group of parishes including Bawdeswell, Bylaugh, Foxley, and Sparham.
The nave measures among the widest of any parish church in Norfolk, creating an open space without internal supporting columns.
