St Mary's Church, Thetford

Close to the centre of the town, this redundant church is boarded up and in the churchyard the gravestones are beginning to be choked by weeds and long grass. Parts of the church indicate 11th and 12th century origins and the squat-looking tower is probably 15th century. However, there was a major restoration and rebuild in 1850 which served to mask many of the original features.
