This parish church dates from the C14th and C15th but was gutted by fire on 14th July, 1961, only the tower and lower parts of the walls, the font, some memorial brasses and north porch remaining. The rest of the church has been restored, Laurence King was the architect, with a new nave roof and new arcades and is now Grade I listed. Built of flint with stone dressings it comprises a nave, a chancel, north and south aisles, north and south transepts, a west tower with lead needle spire and porch, and a C15th two-storeyed and vaulted south porch. There are new and restored Perpendicular windows, the east window by John Hayward. The fire also destroyed several C15th screens.

The church clock is on the west face of the tower below the bell chamber opening and upper string course and above the small clock chamber light. It's a skeleton face of wrought iron with gold-painted Roman numerals, hour and minute marks and very plain hour and minute hands. inside of the three rings supporting the marks and numerals is a pattern with six interlocking lozenge shapes. The hours are struck on the tenor bell.

Words from British Listed Buildings, Simon Knott's Norfolk Churches, and Pevsner's Norfolk 1 Buildings with amendments from own on site observations.
