St Andrew's church is situated in the grounds of Raveningham Hall > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1338001 between grazing pastures and the famous garden. The round tower dates from the early 14th century. The south door is decorated with three C13 wrought iron crosses > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1338248 but the church interior > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1338159 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1338219 is predominantly 19th century. The chancel contains a series of elaborately framed memorials > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1338164 to the Bacon family of Norfolk (the premier baronetcy of England). Remains from earlier times are the C15 octagonal font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1338232 and several brasses, one of which is to Margaret Castyll (d. 1483) > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1338187 - the wife of one of Richard III's squires. She is shown with a dragon at her feet as her patron saint, and a little pet dog hides in the skirts of her gown. The church is open every day.
