St Peter and St Paul’s, Tuttington
Open daily dawn to dusk.
The tower of St Peter & St Paul's Church is one of 119 round towers in Norfolk. It was probably built soon after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The upper section was altered in the early 13th century. The spire was built in 1740. Inside by the main door is a doorway to the staircase leading to the room over the porch, known as a parvise. Lions, roses and the Instruments of the Passion adorn the 15th century font. Fragments of medieval glass can be seen in the tracery of the nave windows. Notice the hour glass stand by the pulpit! Of particular interest are the medieval pew ends which include carvings of an elephant and howdah, a woodwose, a cat, a fox with a goose, and a griffin attacking a man.
