Come and join us for morning service in the beautiful fifteenth-century St Peter's Church at North Barningham.

The powder pink of St Peter's plaster walls is a backdrop to beautiful monuments in this remote fifteenth-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.

Plumstead: St Michael

This wonderful church has its origins in the 12th century but has numerous later additions. It comprises a nave (13th century), chancel (14th century), west tower and clerestory. The south aisle of this church was demolished sometime before the 19th century. It is a flint built structure with clunch ashlar dressing. However, the north wall is made from unusual herringbone pattern carrstone conglomerate of an early date (12th century). Interesting external features include the fishscale tiled west tower with carved stone gargoyles adorning each corner. Inside there is a plain octagonal font, decorated Easter Sepulchre (14th century) and numerous beautiful stained glass windows, several of which are made from 16th/17th century Flemish glass and which were brought here from Catton Hall in 1952.
