All Saints Church, Briston, showing the bell turret
There had been a round tower, but it collapsed in 1795 and replaced by a square cupola, which in turn has been replaced by the present utilitarian structure. The bell was made in 1638 by Brend. The north aisle was demolished in 1785, and the outline of the arcade can still be seen.

The organ, All Saints Church, Briston
Church organs are often in a loft, and can be overlooked by visitors. This one was made by Bishop & Sons in the 19C. This is the church that has a metal cello, made and played by the village blacksmith about 1700.

Rural crossroads
None of these country lanes has a name - the road seen straight ahead links with Hall Street further to the east. The bridge seen in mid-distance takes the road over the River Bure which here is nothing more than a small stream > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1278078. The stream here crosses the lane via a culvert which runs underneath it, only to cross underneath another lane at the same junction about 20 metres further to the west > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1278144.
The River Bure rises near Melton Constable, 18 kilometres miles upstream of Aylsham, which was the original head of navigation. It flows into the North Sea by Breydon Water near Gorleston, further to the southeast.

The memorial is in Briston church and bears three names of the crew of a Wellington which crashed in the village.
The names are: Colin George Charles FROST, Edward Horatio NANCARROW and Bernard Montague Jeffrey VINCENT. There is also a plaque near the site of the crash, of which I, as yet have no image.

Briston All Saints' church
The tower fell down and was completely demolished in 1724 and a single bell turret was erected at a later date, rather than having the enormous expense of rebuilding the tower. The north aisle was also demolished but it is not certain whether the two events are connected.
