The inscription for the infant son, George, reads: "He in this World did only peep. Dislik'd it, and then went to sleep." The village of Strumpshaw is located on an elevation a short distance north of the River Yare. Image is situated in the centre of the Parish. The church was built in the 14th/15th centuries and still houses the original octagonal carved font > Image, and an early 15th century rood screen with most of its original colourings. There is a double piscina > Image, one of its arches ending in the carved figure of a little dragon > Image, in the sanctuary, and various interesting tomb slabs on the nave floor (one seen here). The church is kept locked but a key is available.
