St Nicholas' church - C14 baptismal font
St Nicholas' church - C14 baptismal font
St Nicholas' church > Link - Link - Link stands on the site of a much older church. The nave and baptismal font date from the 14th, the chancel from the 15th century. An early 19th century drawing by Robert Ladbrooke (author of ' Views of the Churches of Norfolk') depicts the church with a tower or turret which housed the bell. It was taken down for safety reasons and the church now is without, with the bell hanging in a frame > Link placed at the south-west corner of the nave. The Berney mausoleum > Link was added onto the chancel north wall during the 18th century. The entrance > Link to the mausoleum is through the doorway of an older mausoleum (dating from the 16th century) within the church and unusually, it is neither sealed off nor locked but wide open > Link. The church is open every day.
