St Margaret's church is situated in the small Breckland hamlet of Breckles. It has a classic Norfolk round tower. Its history is closely linked to that of the nearby, fine Elizabethan mansion, Breccles Hall, with intriguing stories and legends concerning Catholic recusants.
Inside you will find an excellent example of a square Norman font with carved figures and, in the chancel, an unusual burial. The church was originally a dependent church of West Acre Priory and is now part of the Wayland group of parishes.
