North Elmham: St Mary, North Elmham

St. Mary's church is adjacent to the site of the See's first Anglo-Saxon Cathedral (transferred to Thetford in 1071) and to the ruins of a Norman Bishop's Chapel. Within the church are late medeival pew ends and screen, a recently restored 1622 altar table and fragments of medieval glass. The imposing tower contains eight bells and attracts many groups of campanologists. The Rev.
