Holy Trinity church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2024966 is situated in the grounds of Great Hockham Hall, hidden behind tall trees. The church does not have a tower and is hence not easily spotted. The building dates mainly from the 13th and 14th centuries. It houses three medieval wallpaintings: the Holy Trinity painted above the chancel arch > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2024972 has been dated to the 1450s; the Adoration of the Magi > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2024989 and another, unidentified painting > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2024993 on the north wall are believed to be a century earlier. The church also has a remarkable set of 16th century benches with some rather eccentric, carved poppy heads > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2025014 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2025020 - one of these a mermaid > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2025010 holding a comb and a mirror. The baptismal font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2025025 dates from the 14th century.
