St Andrew's, West Dereham
The Grade I listed parish church of Saint Andrew’s is recognised by many groups such as English Heritage as one of the most important medieval churches in the UK. St Andrew’s stands on raised ground slightly north of the village of West Dereham in Norfolk.
The round tower is striking because of its massive size; it is believed to be the second largest tower of its type in Norfolk. The tower is constructed entirely of conglomerate stone; known locally as carstone. The core of the tower walls is infilled with clunch (chalk stone). The internal diameter is 5.5 metres.
