DescriptionSt Mary's church - geograph.org.uk - 865868.jpg
English: St Mary's church. St Mary's church has an Anglo-Saxon round tower with a lead cap. Both nave and chancel are of Early English (C13) origin but the church was extensively restored during the 18th and 19th centuries > 865869 -865872. However, there are a number of medieval survivals, such as the fragments of medieval glass in the porch windows, reset in windows below the tower and also in the west window of the north aisle > 865874 - 865876. The greatest treasure of the church is the rare Norman 'seasonal' font, made from Barnack stone from Rutland; the 12 carved panels show a calendar of work for the farming year > 865878 - 865880 each representing a typical activity of the respective month, with a frieze of foliage and lions above. The church is open every day. For more information see: http://www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/burnhamdeepdale/burnhamdeepdale.htm
St Mary's is one on a trail of four round towered churches in north-west Norfolk, inviting to explore different parts of the Norfolk countryside in search of round towered churches and their links with the North Sea Viking Legacy.
