This one was perhaps the most bijoux of all the churches I visited on my Norfolk jaunt. Little more than four walls, did it merit a report? Yes as it is very photogenic as the Chapel of St Andrew sits beautifully surrounded by farmer’s land on a hill just south of Hunstanton, Norfolk. It was a one-cell church and probably dates from the 13th century. It served the parish of Little Ringstead (also called Ringstead Barrett). It is believed to have been abandoned in the second half of the 14th century when the village of Little Ringstead was devastated by the plague in 1349. The building continued to be used as a chapel up until the 16th century but was later converted into a barn, which itself was abandoned in 1940. That’s about all I can find on it so on with the pictures.
It’s like a maze getting through the maize to it:
