View across the churchyard and towards the cottages beyond as seen by looking through one of the nave south windows of the ruined church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1938746. The ruin of St Margaret's church has recently been made safe for visitors. Trees growing in chancel and nave have been cut down, a modern altar has been placed at the east end and a 'font' was reconstructed by using two capitals and a column section. The church - it was abandoned in the 18th century when the parish was consolidated with East Raynham consisted of a west tower, nave and chancel and its outline can still be clearly discerned.
