St Mary's church. St Mary's church > 863783 - 863801 is situated just north of the River Bure and has - according to Pevsner's "The Buildings of England, Norfolk 1: Norwich and North-East" - one of the most ambitious Early English chancels > 863790 - 863795 of any Norfolk parish church; the chancel, with its lancet windows and matching arcading below, is set lower than the nave and dates from c. 1220-30. The church was restored in the late 1800s by Diocesan architect Richard Phipson, who is also responsible for adding the north chapel > 863803. The most notable survival from earlier times is the C15 seven sacrament font > 863805 - 863808. The church is open every day.
