- East Bradenham, Norfolk (St Mary's Church)
St Mary’s stands at the end of a small lime-tree avenue, above the road and at the east end of the long village.
The bold, buttressed flint-and-stone Medieval church is set in a grassy churchyard. It is simply furnished and gloriously lit, with several lovely memorials to local people.
The powerful tower is Perpendicular, but the rest is 14th-century and earlier. The round clerestory windows with quatrefoil tracery are unusual, and the figures on the Greene monument gaze towards their house long demolished.
The chamber organ is by Samuel Green and is dated 1786.

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.
There is one step down into 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.
