All Saints Church, Thurlton, Norfolk

Thurlton All Saints is a Norman Church that was greatly rebuilt in the 15th Century.

 

The tower was built in the 15th Century and probably replaced an earlier round tower. It is constructed of knapped flint and freestone, and has a fine base-course decorated with flush-work panelling. The tower contains a ring of five bells, all cast in 1632, by the Brend bellfoundry in Norwich. The tenor bell weighs approximately 10 cwt. Frame and fittings were installed by Day of Eye and his name can be seen on the blue and gold rope-guides inside the tower.

 

Most of the windows are from the 15th Century, as is the north porch.

 

The church is thatched with Norfolk reed.
