The church, St Mary, is one of 124 existing round-tower churches in Norfolk. It is a Grade I listed building.[3] In 1209 there was a rectory; in 1271, vicarage was endowed with "all the offerings, the tithes of the mills, a vicarage-house and meadow, and an acre of land adjoining, and twenty acres more of the church's free land, and all other small tithes, except hay, which, with all the corn tithes, and the rest of the glebe, together with the rectory manor, and all its appurtenances, were to belong to the prior himself."[4]
