Burlingham St Peter's ruined church
This tiny church has been neglected for many decades; it was once an attractive building with a lovely round tower. The collapse of the round tower in 1906, however, effectively brought about the final closure of the church 30 years later. The chancel arch is offset to the left of the nave but is central to the chancel, the nave being built a foot further to the south. It was probably done intentionally to create a place for the pulpit in a remarkably narrow church. It was refurbished by the Victorians, who removed most of its Norman origins. The font that once occupied the west of the nave was 14th century. Some of the fittings have been removed to St. Andrew’s church about 200 yards west of here. The mediaeval benches went to Blofield.
