St Edmund's church has a Norman round tower with a bell stage dating from the same time. The church has been restored > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/817195 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/817200 but some medieval survivals remain, the probably most noteworthy being the 15th century font, the inscription of which gives the precise date of 1410 > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/817212 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/817213 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/817214. The rood screen dado panels are painted red and green and bear the stencilled monogram of St Edmund > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/817202 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/817204. Another treasure of this church is a large graffito across the north chancel wall which dates from a time when many villagers were killed by the then raging pestilence. Having been restored, the script is now protected behind glass > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/817209. Beneath it a brass to Thomas Stone, who was vicar here during the reign of James I, has been mounted on the wall > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/817211. This is the only 17th century brass to a minister in Norfolk. The church is open every day. For more information see: http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/acle/acle.htm
