- Hellington, Norfolk (Church of St John the Baptist)
The Norman round tower of St John’s looks out over old farms and woods.
At first sight it is a simple rural church, but the battered stonework of the 13th-century porch, with its three canopied niches, shows clear signs of past splendour, as do the notable Decorated windows, the fine Norman doorway, and the evocative little stone heads that peer out from the carved stone arches.

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.
