St Margaret
Burnham Norton, Norfolk
Norton's church is large and handsome, with a round tower that is Saxon in origin.
This one, although much restored, is an early example, and has Norman features and Saxon roots. Time and three restorations, one as early as 1796, have not robbed it of its charm.
The interior of the church is simple and whitewashed, and contains one of north Norfolk's 11 distinctive square Norman fonts. It stands on four dumpy legs, and is best known for its carvings of the Labours of the Year, showing men tilling, harvesting and so on.
The church also has rare, and beautiful, medieval glass, some of it collected from elsewhere by a Victorian rector. One of the best pieces is of a full moon with a human face; it is in the south porch.
