The church of SS Peter and Paul > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/873394 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/873410 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/873425 has the tallest tower of any Norfolk parish church and three porches, the west porch > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/873401 being the most elaborately executed, with groined roof, image niches and decorated battlements. By 1757 the building was in such a derelict condition that total demolition was considered but with increasing visitor numbers to the newly-discovered seaside resort the architect Arthur Blomfield was brought in, in 1882, resulting in extensive restoration work. Furnishings and font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/873431 date from that time; the south aisle east window > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/873424 is by Morris & Co (1874) and the chancel east window > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/873418 was made by Hardman & Co in 1875. The Rudland and Clark memorial windows > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/873438 in the south aisle depict scenes of local interest.
