A delighful round tower Norman church

Delightful, secluded flint church of Norman origins, with a distinctive short round tower; very much in contrast to the soaring towers of neighbouring Salle and Cawston and the flamboyance of Booton, a nearby Trust church.

Large clear glass windows (some with Medieval stained glass) illuminate extravagantly carved benches in this church, which has lain almost untouched for over a century.

The north aisle was originally the nave and contains traces of 12th-century work.
