Memorial to Caleb Elwin (d. 1776), by E. Holl. St Andrew's church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/828726 is listed in the book "England's Thousand Best Churches" authored by Simon Jenkins. Because its chancel was demolished during the 18th century the building appears truncated. Part of the ruined chancel wall still stands and a profusion of wild flowers is growing on both sides > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/828676. The interior of the church is furnished with 18th century box pews > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/828740 simple benches and a three-decker pulpit > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/828735 - designed by James Burrough and originating from the old chapel of Corpus Christi College in Cambridge. There are a number of monuments in the sanctuary as well as on the south wall. The church is open every day. For more information see: http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/thurning/thurning.htm
