Great Bircham - Church of St Mary the Virgin

St Mary’s Church is surrounded by giant elms and both new and old churchyards.

The church is mainly 15^th century and has a beautiful 13^th century doorway approached by a fine north porch. Inside, the loft nave forms a striking feature having stone seats around the bases of the slender shafted pillars. A 15^th century screen leads to the chancel, which was restored in the late 1800s and where 10 oak carvings of men and women support the roof. There is a 300 year old altar table, but the doorway to the tower is even older.
