This church building is managed by Norwich Diocesan Churches Trust.

All Saints’ Church has one of the earliest round towers in Norfolk, dating to the Saxon period. The upper stage is built of brown carstone, rather than flint. The rest of the church was rebuilt in the 1870s. The lovely east window depicts Christ the Saviour of the World, with a depiction of the Annunciation below it.

This church is in the care of the Diocesan Churches Trust.
