- West Walton, Norfolk (St Mary's Bell Tower)
The great bulk of this tower, detached from its beautiful church, rears up splendidly from the level marshland around it.
It was built around 1240 of Barnack stone, and the quality of both design and execution put it in a class apart from most churches, even in this part of Norfolk.
It recalls work at the cathedrals of Ely and Lincoln, with its four stages of arches growing richer in ornament as they rise.
The belfry holds five bells in an ancient frame.

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.
Tarmac path and level access.
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.
