The church occupies a delightful location, with a path accessible via the churchyard to a footbridge over the River Bure. Notice the pretty sound holes in the 15th century tower and the Maria Regina monograms in the battlement flushwork. The chancel is awash with tall lancets and matching arcading below. The original 13th century work was extended eastwards in 1876. The north chapel is also Victorian. Spot the birds pecking at the foliage on the capitals of the three shafts on the east side. The seven sacrament font, one of twenty two in Norfolk, depicts Evangelistic symbols.
