You are looking for a magnetic micro container, adjacent to the church grounds.
This little church in its coastal village deserves fame for its three outstanding features: Its Saxon Round Tower (pre-Conquest of 1066), its Norman Font, and its collection of Medieval Glass.
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.
If anybody would like to expand this series please do, I would just ask that you would let Sadexploration know first at churchmicro@gmail.com so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list.
Good luck & Happy Caching!
