Summary edit

Description
English: All Saints Church - the Miles Brainthwait monument (detail). All Saints church > 1395771 - 1395779 is situated outside the village at the end of Church Lane. The tower was built from graded flints and a variety of other stones found locally, some presumably derived from abandoned Roman sites in the area. It dates from the 11th century and is a rare example in Norfolk of a Saxon square tower. It is unproportionally large compared with the rest of the building which has another unusual addition at its north-east end: a brick mausoleum built in 1730 for the Branthwait family > 1395778. The Miles Brainthwait monument in the chancel > 1395787 - made of alabaster - dates from the 17th century and is described as one of the grandest memorials of its period in the whole of Norfolk. The chancel was restored in 1737/38 and for a while this end of the church had sash windows which were replaced in 1882. The nave windows have wooden frames. The porch dates from the 15th century with the crow-stepped gable added later. The sundial > 1395775 above the entrance was made in 2000 by students of the Wymondham College.
