Blakeney, Norfolk

Address

Blakeney
Norfolk
NR25 7NW

It has a beautiful rib vaulted roof, and, most unusually, a seven light window. There is only one other like this in England.

Of interest in the chancel are several misericords. The nave and tower are 15th century, and there are also fragments of 15th century stained glass.

Blakeney's church has a mystery; as well as the main tower, attached to the chancel is another tower. But this one is much too small and spindly ever to have been built for bells. Many reckon that it was built as a shipping beacon, but would the main tower not have been sufficient?
