Ranworth rood screen is considered one of the finest examples of medieval rood screen to have survived the iconoclasm of the English Reformation. It is located in the Church of St Helens, Ranworth, Norfolk, UK. The exact dates for the creation of the screen are unknown, though most experts agree that the paintings were probably executed sometime in the 15th Century, with the erection of the wooden screen itself possibly occurring some years earlier.
