Summary edit

Description
English: St Botolph's church in West Briggs - C18 memorial Memorial to Thomas Arne, MusD. The church of St Botholph > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1741771 stands by a sharp bend in a narrow lane east of the A134 road. It once used to serve the nearby hamlet of West Briggs > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1741748 of which there remains no trace. After the nearby church in Tottenhill - described by Bloomefeld as a hamlet to West Briggs - fell into ruin, St Bothoph's church was taken over by the village. The tower dates from the 14th century but the building is of Norman origins. It retains the original Norman south and north doorways and the Norman chancel arch > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1741820 - the latter was restored in 1877 by architect Wm Lawrie of Downham Market. Several coloured floor tiles have been reset at the chancel step - these are early medieval and were made in nearby Bawsey. Above the south door there is a stone cross encircled by a carved rope > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1741814. The chancel was restored and the east wall rebuilt in 1864 by architect Ewan Christian.
