214 HOLKHAM St Withburga

Sitting within the North of the grounds of the picturesque Holkham Hall St Withburga has a very dramatic setting, as you approach the church from the North East it looms above you on a ancient hill, which is composed of sand, the massive church with its impressive south tower complete with slim buttresses and pinnacles and serves as the south porch as well, the church is almost completely rebuilt, the tower being 13th century and the long nave from about the same time, there was a Saxon church here before this one as in the west bay of the nave the remains of an ancient tower were found.
