Stunning angel roofs in Norfolk churches

Almost 600 years ago, a church roof full of angels hovering benevolently over the congregation must have been a comforting reminder of the heaven they hoped awaited them. To the 21st Century visitor, they are a source of wonder and among our finest treasures. Absolute masterpieces of carpentry and engineering, they survive largely because the iconoclasts of the Reformation were simply unable to reach them.
