St Nicholas, St Mary and St Thomas’s, Blakeney by Matthew McDade

This mighty Perpendicular church is very large for its small village and the two towers dominate the surrounding area. The hammer beam roof and wealth of stained glass enhance the majesty of the building and its dimensions are comparable to a major city church. The chancel east window is a gem of Early English architecture with seven stepped lancets. The church is featured in Simon Jenkins’ 1000 Best Churches and in the Daily Telegraph 100 favourite churches.
