- Thurgarton, Norfolk (All Saints' Church)
The height and length of this mainly 14th-century towerless, thatched church is reminiscent of a great barn.
Inside, it has spectacular Medieval carved benches featuring a dragon, a creeping hunter, fighting dogs, an elephant and musicians.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

I enjoyed the visit to this church,the best bit was the pew ends and I have never seen an elephant in church.another calming atmosphere
A really lovely setting and the thatch, peace and quiet made for a memorable visit.
The pew ends are wonderful. I think the winged animal with a human head between its paws must be the wolf with the head of St Edmund. I am guessing that the feathers and wings of this animal are to show that it is an angelic beast. I don't think that it can be a griffin as it has a snout, not a beak.
Are there other ideas?
