Burnham Deepdale

Guía de viajes

The round tower is definitely Saxon in origin, approximately 950 years old, and has a triangular headed doorway on the first stage above the tower arch inside the church and is constructed with some large puddingstone material near the base inside. The thickness of the flint walls is less than that of a Norman builder. It has Saxon belfry windows constructed with flat flints set to make a round topped opening. The bottom one on the west face is a modern one made to match the others. The tower is capped with a lead roof but at one time would have been tiled. The base of the tower is 6 inches thicker up to a height of 10 feet. During the 1797 restoration the church was described as “the aspect of a gloomy moss grown cavern” being changed into “a decent place of public worship”. During this restoration the north aisle and south porch were demolished and the east window was opened up. The chancel floor was also raised at this time and new seats added. At the 1855 and 1898 restorations the north aisle was rebuilt and the Norman parts of the north doorway returned to their former position. The south porch was rebuilt and a vestry added. The present pews were installed in 1898. The chancel arch is from the Perpendicular period and the wrought iron screen and modern rood were added in 1932. Pic by Jenny.

High tide at Burnham Deepdale. Spring high tide covering most of the saltmarsh. Spring high tides are always at about 7 O'clock along this stretch of coast, see 568088.
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.
