Grade II*

St Peter’s Church is one of Norfolk’s round tower churches. It sits a short distance away from its village on a small promontory above the River Bure. The round tower dates back to late Norman times (1066-1088) although the thickness of tower walls seems to indicate that the tower may have Saxon origins. The church has been the centre of religious life in the village for over 900 years. The simple interior is bright and airy. An elaborate memorial in the nave states that the body of Margaret, wife of Thomas Beevor, lies beneath the aisle.
