The powder pink of St Peter’s plaster walls is a backdrop to beautiful monuments in this remote 15th-century Norfolk church.
White marble likenesses from the noble Palgrave family are full of character, as are the Medieval figures in the brasses set in the floor.
An enigmatic 'rose window’ design lies on the centre aisle, illuminated by the blaze of light from the east window. Nobody knows when it was created, nor what it conceals.

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 an uneven grassy churchyard with one small step down into the porch and another into 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.
