Standing in splendid isolation with only the raucous cries of crows for company, who emerge from the tower like a plume of smoke. The huge church tower can be seen from miles around. Built mainly by the Boleyns, Foutaine and Brigg families. A nice example of a Lych Gate. The tower stands 111ft tall and was built between
1422 and 1461, with the church being finally completed in 1500. Over the
west door, the third from the right, is the coat of arms of Henry V when
he was the Prince of Wales. Inside is a splendid seven
sacrament font which still shows traces of original colour. |
Lots of angels, with the nave roof having them at all the intersections together with a three decker pulpit. |

It has been rumoured that Anne Boleyn is said to be buried at this church, though her heart was said to have been discovered in 1836 in the south wall of the church of Elvedon Park, near Thetford.
