Norfolk has long been recognised as one of the best counties in
which to study parish churches. It has one of the highest densities
of medieval churches in northern Europe reflecting its greater
population and wealth in earlier times. It is also home to the
largest number of round-towered churches in England and to more
surviving medieval glass than most counties put together. Its
towers and spires punctuate the open landscape and there are some
churches from which you can see six or seven others. The building
materials range from the local flint and carstone to imported
limestones and brick. This diversity of material has led to a huge
range of different styles of church - from tiny farmyard churches
to those which feel as if they should be a cathedral even though
they have probably never served more than a hundred people. This
book will cover a cross section of churches throughout the county,
both well-known and those waiting to be discovered by a wider
audience. This fascinating picture of an important part of the
history of Norfolk over the centuries will be of interest to all
those who live in or are visiting this attractive county in
England.
