Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of Nicholas' Church, North Walsham, Norfolk
Part of the tower of this Saxon church still remains, and stands on the north side of the ruined tower (see photograph on p. 7l. It was built of flint with a ferruginous conglomerate, or local iron stone, used for the external quoins or angle stones. It is square in form and had windows on the north and south sides, and possibly a baptismal apse on the west side. It is not possible to say how far the nave of this church extended, or whether there was a chancel or not. In former church repairs there were indications that the north wall of the present church, as far as the third buttress, formed a part of this Saxon church.
At present all that remains of this tower is used for heating the church and for the organ-blowing apparatus.
The Saxon church was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The present church is dedicated to St. Nicholas, but the date of the alteration in dedication has not so far been discovered.
