ST. MARY'S CHURCH , DITCHINGHAM

Ditchingham parish church has a picturesque situation on Belsey Bridge Road to the east of the main Norwich to Bungay road.

The crowning glory of this ancient building is it's lofty tower, reaching almost 100 feet in height. The foundation stone of the tower was laid in 1479 by Bishop Goldwell and it's architect was James Woderofe.

Once a year the church tower is open to visitors for a weekend and the view over the surrounding countryside is quite beautiful.

On Monday evenings the magical sound of church bells can be heard as the bell ringers practise their skills!
