All Saints church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1394264 has an 11th century nave and tower. The 13th century octagonal finish encases an earlier round tower, a feature shared with only three other Norfolk churches: Buckenham > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/861886 - Kettlestone > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/850528 and Toft Monks > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1335268. The north doorway > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1394272 dates from the 12th century and was transferred to its present place from the nave. The south door and its ring handle (depicted here) are C14. The church was restored in the late 19th century > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1394279 and most of the furnishings and the stained glass date from that time. The east window > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1394282 was made in the workshop of J & J King of Norwich. Another window > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1394289 was made in 1897 by the Kempe studios. Both these windows contain 15th century glass in their traceries > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1394293. All Saints has retained its C14 octagonal font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1394297 and some of the benches in the chancel date from the 15th century and have carved figures at their ends > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1394296. Parts of the rood screen presently serves as the vestry screen at the north-western end of the church.
