A peaceful church with a rare octagonal tower

This impressive church, with its rare 13th-century octagonal tower (one of the finest of Norfolk’s five wholly octagonal towers) sits peacefully surrounded by trees and fields close to the River Yare.

Its interior, restored in the early 19th-century, feels lost in time, with beautiful stone carving and lovely Victorian glass as well as a fine 15th-century font.
