Description
English: St Margaret's church - churchyard. The churchyard of St Margaret's > 855777 - this section is situated on the other side of the A1064.


St Margaret's church > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855777 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855787 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855802 was extensively restored in 1876 by Diocecan architect Herbert J Green. The building material used was knapped flint. The roof is thatched (St Margaret's is one of only 53 completely thatched churches in Norfolk) and there is a dormer window (installed in 1908 to provide better lighting for the gallery) above the porch. Besides the C11 Norman south doorway > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/312307 and a C17 brass there are no older survivals. The font > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855807 dates from the 19th century; the east window > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855793 is modern (1960) and was installed in memory of Dr T E Royden, a churchwarden of many years. The Bishop, Rt Revd G C Fisher of Burgh Hall, gave the reredos of white marble and alabaster > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/855795. The church is kept locked but a key is available.

The village of Burgh St Margaret, also called Fleggburgh. It is thought that Burgh was the original name but with altogether four Norfolk villages called 'Burgh' it became necessary to distinguish between them. The adjoining parish used to be called Burgh Vaux or Burgh St Mary, the latter adopting the name of their church > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/376316 - in ruins since the 16th century - only the round tower remains. Fleggburgh/Burgh St Margaret is located on the A1064, the main route linking Acle to West Yarmouth before the opening of the Acle Straight (A47/New Road) as a toll road in 1831.
