St Peter's Church

"St Peter's Church, Great Walsingham is one of the finest examples of an unspoilt Decorated Church built between 1330-1340.

The chancel fell sometime during the early 16th century.

The seven Clerestory windows are original and have most unusual semi-circular hoods. The tower still has its original set of three bells which were made by Wiliam Silisden, a freeman of King's Lynn, in 1380. The bells are the oldest set of three by one bell-founder to be found in England."
