Geocache Description:


You are looking for a camo magnectic micro and will therefore need to BYOP and a log extractor

 

The village has two churches, the Methodist Church and the Church of St. Andrew. St. Andrew's is one of 124 existing round towered churches in Norfolk.

The plan of the church is beguilingly irregular, with the chancel decreasing in width towards the east end. A pilaster strip in the south wall of the chancel curiously tapers with the narrow portion at the bottom: the whole building has a gnarled, irregular appearance which is a mark of Anglo-Saxon construction. Even the corners (quoins) are of flint, although these are somewhat larger on the whole than those built into the body of the walls. There is even, surprisingly, an attempt at herringbone-work, all in flint, and round splayed porthole windows dressed entirely in flints, not quite perfect circles.

The 15th century figures of St Catherine (south side of the nave) and St Margaret (west window in the tower) are superb; how much of the surrounding glass that they are set in is also medieval? I suspect it may be the 20th century work of the Kings. Nevertheless, they are absolutely beautiful, and well worth seeking out
