Twyford, DEREHAM, NR20 5LY

Although St Nicholas' is situated right beside the busy A1067, nothing indicates that this is the location of a church; the surrounding brick wall and tall trees rather look as if they were forming the boundary of a manor, which in a way they are, because Twyford Manor is adjoining the church in the east and can be reached via a footpath from the churchyard > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/893723. St Nicholas' church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/893712 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/893726 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/893735 is built of flint conglomerate, brick and limestone; the red-brick porch tower > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/893714 - too short to give away the church's presence from a distance - is topped by an ornate bell cupola and dated to 1732. The nave is what remains of a Saxon or Norman church building, the chancel was added in the 13th century. There was an extensive restoration in the 19th century and the rood screen > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/893731 dates from that time, as does the carved alabaster reredos > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/893734. The stained glass east window > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/893733 is early 20th century. Older survivals are the C13 font > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/893736 and the ribbed, three-centred wooden south door. Fragments of medieval stained glass were reset into one of the nave north windows > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/893728. The church is kept locked but a key is available at request.
