Bramerton, Norfolk - St. Peter
The entrance to the churchyard is via a lychgate built in the late 1920's by local carpenter John Shingles using oak from local trees. Parts of the church date from the 13th. century, local tradition holds that the church was built in 1462, reflected by White's and Kelly's directories and the will of Richard Medewe, proved in 1463, leaves 12d. to the "construction of the church". Probably the building was partially reconstructed or altered at that date.
Following restoration in the 1860's the interior is now almost entirely Victorian. A church is mentioned at Bramerton in the Domesday Book and the present building contains Roman bricks and stone from Caen in Normandy, suggesting it replaced an earlier church.
St. Peter's received Grade: II* listed building status on 26th. November 1959. (English Heritage Legacy ID: 227142).
