Stalham, Norfolk

 Stalham, Norfolk

A fascinating little village set deep in rural Norfolk.

A view of the parish church tower from the south...
                                       
...a view of the extension to house the altar...
...the tower and nave from the north...

A close up of the south entrance built of knapped flint.

 

The Baptist chapel built in 1813...
...and the larger chapel built next door in 1894 for a larger congregation...


...and a dinosaur mascot outside a local estate agency on the other side of the old chapel. 

The marvelous art deco style main building of the local high school.
And then it was on to the Museum of the Broads which has a host of exhibits to tell the history of the Broads.
Tools used to harvest reeds for thatching.
