Our Medieval Glass is now back in place having been fully restored
over the last 6 months. The church is open every day for
anyone who would like to view it.
The Round Tower dates approximately from 950 years ago.
This simple construction, making intricate corners
unnecessary, is a feature of many churches in Norfolk. This
is one of a group in three neighbouring parishes: Titchwell, Burnham Deepdale and Burnham Norton. The tower houses a 15th
century bell cast by Thomas Derby of Kings Lynn.
The Norman Font of Barnack stone is square in shape and depicts a figure
for each month of the year from a farming man's point of view. For example
February shows a person with his feet up before the fire, June, a person
weeding, September, threshing and December, feasting together.
The collection of
Medieval Glass is rich and varied and is described
in the book 'Stained Glass Tours Around Norfolk Churches' by David J King. Of particular charm is the window in the tower showing in the top half
an angel pulling the chains of a censur and below Mary Magdalene holding
a scroll. The windows in the porch contain delightful medieval faces of
the sun and moon.
Postcards of the Font and Glass are available to purchase in
the Church.
