This was another stop on the way home from Norfolk. Some very old grave stones dotted about the grave yard and some lovely plaques in a locked part, so picture took through the window.


The oldest fabric in the ruin dates from the late 13th century, and is found in the nave, the chancel, and the transepts. The tower was added when the church was remodelled in the 15th century. Although it is now a ruin, the church was still intact in 1883. The chancel was closed by the building of a west wall in 1972.
Only the tower and the chancel have retained their roofs.
The bell tower still to this day has its two bells but door to the tower is locked.
The church is now grade 2 listed and under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
