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 > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1394278 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.
