A grand mostly 13th Century church with some earlier & later features stands in a churchyard which was once shared by 2 churches. St Andrews itself & St Marys.
No reason is known for the abandonment of St Marys but it is thought to have been around the time of the reformation. Or that it was too costly for a small parish to run 2 churches. Parts of St Marys foundation have from time to time been discovered by grave diggers.
The size & beauty of St Andrews is almost certainly due to its close connection with Walsingham Abbey, who held the Walsingham Priory Manor in Bedingham between 1318 and the dissolution of the monasteries when it reverted back to the Crown. The second manor in Bedingham was known as Bigods manor.
The imposing round tower is Norman with an octagonal top added later. The bell chamber holds 5 bells sadly no longer rung.
