A bequest was made to the south porch and aisle in 1518 which referred to timber already stockpiled. The porch has the handiwork of the Wiveton Mason. In 1514 a bequest was left for a rood beam. Over the west door the arms of Clifton 1447. The north door is back from the same template as Fincham south doorway. Money was left for the bells in 1474. So does this indicate 15th century rebuilding complete in 1518? See (S5).
